Big Black Mountain

Point 9073 in the Wasatch is known as Big Black Mountain in some older sources and the newer guidebook Hiking the Wasatch by John Veranth.

Sessions Mountains

I'm not sure if you want to label this one or not, but the USGS labels the below as the "Sessions Mountains" even though it is really only one mountain:

Maybe because the name was plural, it shouldn't be included even though it is really a single mountain?

Elk point has zero topographic prominence per the map. Is there some discernible rise in the field?

Good question. It looks like a "summit" from below, but I have never been there even though I know the massive very well. Elk Point is not an easy place to get to. The GNIS listed elevation doesn't make much sense either. It's probably best to omit it unless someone goes up there and sees if there is a summit.
