Good page with instructions about ursus. Nice to see peaks from the Madison range.
About the elevation-I would think that USGS would be primary, but sometimes there are alpine guide boooks that have better elevations. Then there is the geodetic survey and I think they try to study all the lumps on the sphere and so sometimes their elevations differ a bit from USGS. They seem a bit like 19 century phrenologists. They study fewer peaks and points than USGS but do so more intensivley
Thanks, Still working on this thing. Just added the signature photo and tried to change the long to negative but it doesn't want to show up on the page after I edit. I don't quite understand the Lat/Long data to be quite truthful, where is best to get this data from? How do you decipher what it should actually be?
I found your notes one one of the pics. I think I figured out the lat/long using topozone. Thanks again The USGS quad states that the elevation is 11202, topozone says 11212. are there any written/unwritten rules pertaining to which one to use?
Above any summitpost topozone, there is a big button called GET MAPS. If you push that button it will summon up a page where in you can write your target. Some times it proposes several areas, one of which may be what you want and sometimes it's a dud. In your case there appears to be but one Imp Peak and that is in its database. That's a cheap way to get longitude and latiude. If you get your desired area, you can mouse the summit and it gives it to you quite accurately..perhaps as accurate as a Tomahawk on a Bagdad Ministry.
