Eastern Colorado was the first place that came to mind when thinking of flat high areas. People forget just how flat Eastern Colorado is. Hilly and low lying would probably by SF.

It’s not really flat except by comparison with the rest of CO. Same for the four CO areas mentioned in another post. They look flat, though.

Parts of TX panhandle and the area between Midland and Odessa (Permian Basin) are flat, and driving through them before continuing through eastern CO makes the distinction obvious.

Some of ID along I80 seems flat, but I don’t know if this is another case of perception by comparison. Also, the elevation is not high.

I didn't think I80 went through Idaho.

Birmingham is pretty rugged (it's at the base of the Appalachians) but isn't much more than 500 feet above sea level.

Atlanta is pretty flat (except for some local hills - Stone Mountain, Kennesaw Mountain), but the elevation of the city itself is 1,050 feet.

The entire Driftless Area is below 1800 feet, and much of it is below 1000 feet, but extremely rugged and hilly.

Basically the entire CA coast could be considered hilly with low elevation.

Seattle and San Francisco are hilly as all get out, and Denver is as flat as a pancake.

Atlanta is not in anyway flat.
