You have probably taken your analysis about as far as is practical.

Yesterday I put together a 3D terrain map that I could interact with (using QGIS and the plugin QGIS2threejs), though other than planning routes through valleys, it isn't too helpful in figuring out ranges per-se.You or anyone else hasn’t said a word, but you do know what the numbers on your charts like- 27, 34 and all the way up to 72 in the blocks- mean on your chart of your flying circle???…. totally HUGE factor in any low powered bird… These again, are all factors….Don’t be discouraged about your circle getting so much smaller, it looks like you have some fantastic country to fly in.

I've been trying to familiarize myself with this symbol guide:https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/flight_info/aeronav/digital_products/aero_guide/
I would spend more time on calculation of your build than on wondering which mountain range your flying over. Just saying’Best of success
