What are the lowest and highest points within your city's limits (or the nearest city of size to you), and what's the difference between them?

Duluth, MN: 602 ft to 1480 ft (878 ft difference)

Hermantown, MN (suburb of Duluth): Lowest point seems to be 1180 ft; highest point, around 1490 ft. (310 ft difference)

Looks like Duluth is winning for cities east of the Rockies! Yeah!

Oh, I'm guessing Roanoke, Asheville & maybe Pittsburgh could eat your city's shorts. Or talls as it were.

BAH, are you referring to someone's basement or the San andreas fault?
