Green represents Texas' low elevation, which includes the flat Gulf Coastal Plain along the southeastern Gulf Coast and much slightly more hilly regions in east Texas. Much of Texas' population lives in this low-elevation areas, including major cities like Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, and Austin.
As elevation increases, land colors in the map change to warm colors of yellow, orange and red. Much of this mid-elevation land exists in central Texas and includes the Edward Plateau.
Higher lands are shown in blue and purple, and include most of the north and west portions of Texas. El Paso also lies in this high elevation region.
The highest lands in Texas are colored white, and are made up primarily of Texas' mountain ranges in the western Big Bend Country. Texas' highest point is Guadalupe Peak close to the New Mexico border in far west Texas. The elevation of Guadalupe Peak is 2667 meters or 8751 feet.
