I've  had a regular patron coming in to the Marriott Library's map
collection and scouring our topographic maps to identify location of the
highest elevation in each county, state by state.  Why?  She and some
others intend to visit each high point!  Sounds like they have plenty of
time on their hands...  If nothing else, she lets me know when there's a
missing sheet in a state!

I would be very surprised if anyone has compiled such data for the 3,000
plus counties of the U.S.   First I can see no reason for compilng such
data other than to get a few extremes so someone can brag about their
county being low, high, flat, or rugged.
