Nevada - 1200 feet

	*Nevada - 1200 feet* The lowest point in Nevada is 479 feet above sea level at the California border along the Colorado River. At 1,200 feet of sea level rise, the only affected areas would be the southern tip of the state along the Colorado River. The Hoover Dam has a high-water line at 1,229 feet above sea level (Lake Mead’s height) so at this point, the whole Colorado River south of the Hoover Dam (downstream) would be at the same height as the Lake the Hoover Dam is holding back. Now that would be a powerful, not to mention scary, sight to see.
