This article comprises three sortable tables of major mountain peaks of the U.S. State of Nevada.
The summit of a mountain or hill may be measured in three principal ways: The topographic elevation of a summit measures the height of the summit above a geodetic sea level. The first table below ranks the 50 highest major summits of Nevada by elevation. The topographic prominence of a summit is a measure of how high the summit rises above its surroundings. The second table below ranks the 52 most prominent summits of Nevada. The topographic isolation (or radius of dominance) of a summit measures how far the summit lies from its nearest point of equal elevation. The third table below ranks the 50 most isolated major summits of Nevada.
