Nevada - 6,000 feet
At 6,000 feet of sea level rise, the majority of Nevada is now flooded and the state has become a group of islands. The largest island (which is about one sixth the total land mass of the current state of Nevada) would be made up of Ruby Lake National Wildlife Refuge, Great Basin National Park and the towns of Ely and McGill down to the southern point of Tonopah. Cave Lake State Park would also be attached to this island by a small land bridge near Wells. All major roadways are now underwater along with the areas of the state capital, Carson City and Reno. Lake Tahoe is also above sea level as the lake surface is 6,223 feet above sea level.
