[edit] The highest elevation of any point on the Gulf coast
The statement" giving High Island the highest elevation of any point on the Gulf coast from Mobile, Alabama to the Yucatán Peninsula." is incorrect.
We just visited Avery Island for the first time. (Wonderful place!) We have been told of two different elevations: a mere 152-foot elevation, and someone said the highest point is 155 feet in the northeast part of the island.
Avery Island’s web page says that in the five coastal islands that rise above the lower areas of southern Louisiana, Avery Island is highest at 163 feet.
