A '''topographical summit''' is a point on a surface which is higher in elevation than all points immediately adjacent to it. Mathematically speaking, a summit is a local maximum in elevation. Colloquially, a ''summit'' generally refers to a mountain peak with some significant amount of
topographic prominence.
When referring to geographic features such as mountains on a
topographic map, variations in elevation are shown by
contour lines. The elevation of a mountain denotes the highest point or summit and is typically illustrated as a small circle on a topo map with the
AMSL height shown in either
metres or
feet or both.
