Green represents West Virginia's relatively low elevation areas. This includes two major regions: the western lands near the Ohio River, and the eastern tip near the borders of Maryland and Virginia. Many of West Virginia's most populated cities lie in the western low region, including Charleston, Huntington, Parkersburg, and Wheeling.
Mid-level elevation is shown with warm colors like yellow, orange, and red. This includes much of the land in central West Virginia either at the base of mountains or in the valleys between them. Morgantown lies in this mid-level elevation range.
High elevation is shown with blue and purple, and the highest mountains are shown with the color white. The Allegheny Mountains and Cumberland Plateau form West Virginia's highest lands. Spruce Knob is the highest point in West Virginia, with a peak elevation of 4,862 ft / 1482 m.
