This topographic map is of the state of North Carolina, USA. The highest range of elevation is on the left portion of the map, which is the west coast of North Carolina. As you follow the mountain range eastward, it slowly calms down to flatter grounds, especially at the coastline. This specific mountain range in North Carolina is called the Appalachian Mountains, and it runs from Maine to Georgia. What many people don't know about this region, is that there is a trail called the AT (Appalachian Trail) which runs through the course of the mountain chain (Maine to Georgia). There are quite a few persistent people who have actually completed the hike in its entirety, which usually takes about 6 months.
