This is not the same as the HPS Piute Peak which is actually a lookout tower site several miles to the northeast (labeled Piute Vista on the 7.5' topo). You might also distinguish this from the named summit of Piute Peak which yet a different point a short distance west of this highpoint.
I made a note about the Piute summit vs. Piute Lkt (HPS) way down at the bottom of the page but your point is well taken. I'll add in a caveat at the top too. The HPS road directions do come in very handy for both places, though
