John, I'm kind of curious of the rule you used to determine the location of a summit, especially when there is a difference between the most prominent and the highest point of a named feature. Now, I would guess that 99% of the time, they are one and the same, but I've run across a few where they are different.
Example 1: Elk Ridge in Larimer Co., CO.:
The highpoint of the ridge is 8766' here: http://listsofjohn.com/PeakStats/mapf.p ... .4184&z=15
but the most prominent point on the ridge is 8580' here: http://www.listsofjohn.com/PeakStats/ma ... =-105.3680
You have the most prominent point marked as the summit location.
Example 2: Dick Ridge in Rio Blanco Co., CO:
The highpoint of the ridge is 7642' here: http://www.listsofjohn.com/PeakStats/ma ... =-108.0927
but the most prominent point on the ridge is 7121' here: http://listsofjohn.com/PeakStats/mapf.p ... .1071&z=15
You have the highpoint marked as the summit location.
Until recently, I had thought it was the highest point with prominence that you used, but now I'm wondering if it is the most prominent point. Or maybe it's a rule I haven't thought of. Or maybe you just had to make a personal judgment call in these rare instances. Anyway, I'm just curious. Thanks for the ever-improving summit resource you have here at LOJ!
