Newbie Mountaineer with an Unsolved Question

by rileyflynn » Mon May 30, 2016 8:42 am

I'm just getting into mountaineering with a trip to Mt. Baker planned for the near future. We're looking at camping near the base of the Black Buttes. Several trip reports keep referring to a "Point 7242" as their place of preference. What does that mean? Is it a reference to a GPS/topographic map coordinate? Help a guy out.

Below is an example trip report and topographic map:
