Taum Sauk Mountain is the highest peak in the range, and the highest point in the state, with an elevation of 1,772 ft (540 m). In the southernmost reaches of the range is Clark's Mountain, elevation 1,450 ft (440 m), with the distinction of being the highest isolated point in the range and in the state; it reaches its top from surrounding terrain of about 900 ft (270 m) in less than two miles (3.2 km). Black Mountain, in Madison County, has the highest rise in elevation from its base, along the St. Francis River (540 feet above sea level) to its summit (1,502 feet above sea level), a rise of just under 1,000 feet in elevation.
