Meaden/Sand?
Posted: Tue Dec 06, 2005 2:21 pm
Does anyone know whether the prominent point at 10,897' in the central Elkheads should be referred to as Meaden Peak or Sand Mountain? By all accounts, the quad is in error where it labels this peak as Meaden Peak, because Meaden is actually the 10,561' peak to the west (something that you can confirm at the USGS's GNIS site). Scott Patterson on SummitPost calls 10,897' "East Meaden". If you look at the 100K series, it looks like the name Sand Mountain might have been intended to encompass three summits: 10,879', 10,714' & 10,847' (and on the 250K series, the name Meaden Peak is nowhere to be found). Any opinions?
