A good place for information like that is Maps.com

http://www.maps.com/explore/atlas/phy/

This is the link to the physical world map.

I'd probably choose somewhere in Australia. With its history, it'd make a
rich setting playing on the history of Australia as a prison continent,
which is essentially what it becomes after the meteors have destroyed most
of earth. It'd be a prison that could have its territories extended.

Right smack at the bottom center of Australia is a placed called Eyre
Peninsula, which is close to sea level. Near there is a city called Murray.
You could also choose Victoria to the north, which is still around the same
height you're talking about. There's probably enough civilization left at
either of these two places that you could scavenge for resources.

It would also allow you to bring in elements of mysticism by bring in the
Aborigine and Mauri histories.

Think Mad Max :)
