    Is this city sitting on the very top of a mountain? I only see hills, no mountains, but that could be because they’re already at the top of the mountain.

      The Appalachians run from Alabama to Newfoundland, CA. The highest point is only ~6,600 ft today due to erosion but the range is among the oldest in the world the oldest sections being estimated 1.2 billion years old.

      The ones pictured probably aren’t even 2,000 ft but they’d still be apart of the Appalachian mountain range.
