Where is the highest elevation shown in this landscape? (It may not be a location marked with a letter.)

The question is based on this contour line map with elevations shown in feet.
• North is to the top of the map.
• Streams are shown with dashed lines.
• A graphic scale for measuring horizontal distances is shown below the map.
• Estimate elevations between contour lines to the nearest half-contour interval; assume that the top of a
hill is one-half-contour interval higher than the highest contour line shown.
