Does the Crooked Top Benchmark show an elevation of 10,465'?
If not, I am curious about the source for the 10,465' elevation given for Crooked Top Mountain.

Spot elevations are derived from the most current USGS 7.5 minute quadrangle. Often newer versions do not inclue a spot elevation and the spot elevation is retained from an older version. Elevations may also come from larger scale maps when spot elevations do not exist on the 7.5 minute quadrangle but do on larger scale maps.
