Note: This map is an artistic representation of Oregon's terrain. Text labels are intentionally limited.
Oregon's lowest elevation is shown in green. This includes the broad and highly populated Willamette Valley, lands adjacent to the Columbia River in the north, and, of course, all coastal land next to the Pacific Ocean in the west. All five of Oregon's most populated cities lie in this low-elevation region: Portland, Eugene, Salem (Oregon's capital), Gresham, and Hillsboro.
Mid level elevation is colored with warm colors: yellow, orange, and red. Much of Oregon's interior land is in the mid-level elevation range. The relatively low elevated Coast Range mountains in western Oregon also fall in this mid-level range.
High elevation is indicated with blue and purple, and white is used for Oregon's highest points. Much of the Oregon Outback in southeastern Oregon is in this high area. Many peaks and mountain ranges in the highest range (white color) are scattered throughout the state, including the peaks of the Cascade range, Steens Mountains, Wallowa Mountains, and more.
Oregon's highest point is Mount Hood in northern Oregon. It's elevation reaches 11,249 ft or 3429 meters.
