From my experience: hold your arm straight out and see how high the lowest part is (probably where it joins your body). The top of your normal buildings and scenery should be no higher than that. So if that comes to 54" and your buildings/trees/telegraph poles are 6", your base should be under 48".
Mountains/backdrops that you don't have to reach over can be higher.
My baseboard comes up almost to my arm and it's a pain to reach over stuff. And one part is 30" wide. I can reach stuff at the back but I can't see the track to check spikes and things.
You can always buy a stool or chair to be lower.
