US States With "Ribu"/1000 Meter Prominence Mountains

List the US states with highly prominent mountains/"Ribu", or mountains with over 1000 m/~4920 ft of topographic prominence
Topographic prominence is not elevation, it is a measurement of the minimum elevation you must drop off a summit before climbing to a higher mountain. A nearly flat rise at high elevation would have minimal prominence, while a rugged low elevation point with few connecting ridgelines would have a higher prominence
"Ribu" or thousand comes from Indonesian peakbagging to refer to mountains with over a thousand meters of prominence.
Several mountains are shared among multiple states. If the summit passes over the border, it is included for both states
