There has been interest in creating a List of the highest summits of Oregon with a topographic prominence criteria less than 500 meters (1640 feet)*. The table below shows how the ranking of Oregon's highest summits changes depending on what prominence criteria you use. As the prominence criteria decreases you get more peaks, but those additional peaks may be less important or subpeaks of higher summits. As the prominence criteria decreases the rank of high prominence peaks may also drop. For instance, Strawberry Mountain ranks 16th using the 500-meter prominence criteria, 20th using 1000-foot, 33rd using 500-foot, 41st using 100-meter, and 46th using the 300-foot criteria.
