Mount Rushmore Dimensions: 60‑Foot Faces on a 400‑Foot Cliff

Mount Rushmore National Memorial (Keystone, SD) measures:

• Total height: 60 ft (18 m) – each presidential head.
• Width: 400 ft (122 m) across the four faces.
• Total area: ~2 acres (0.81 ha).

Gutzon Borglum’s sculpture (1927–1941) depicts Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt, and Lincoln—each head 60 ft tall, carved into the granite face of the Black Hills.
