Wondering how to edit this U.S. County Entry?
The WikiProject U.S. Counties standards might help.
I did not add the fact about Haywood County having "the highest mean elevation" of any county in the Eastern U.S.A. I suppose it might be true. I went looking for online support for such an assertion, and I found a magazine article. So, I added a link to the article from Travel America magazine (to the External Links section).
I do not intend this link to serve as support for the elevation assertion. Does anyone have any other ideas? Incidentally, similar claims online are made for Avery County, North Carolina. Mr Frosty 18:41, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
I wouldnt think Haywood county to be the highest county east of the rockies, there are plenty of counties in western Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas who sit at 4,000 feet or higher (mean elevation) I vote we change it to "highest county east of the high plains" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.119.226.143 (talk) 07:29, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
I agree that there are surely counties in Kansas, Texas, and other states which surely have a higher average elevation than does Haywood County. I think "highest county east of the Mississippi" would be more exact and accurate, and it would be a more recognizable reference to most readers. Mr Frosty (talk) 15:30, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
