Map Comments
This representation of Washington 2,000+ foot prominence cells comes with the following
description by Edward Earl (March 2005).
"The map should be used with one caveat. The peak list on which this cell
map is based is not exactly the same as the true Washington 2,000 foot prominence list;
it is simply those peaks which appear to have at least 2,000 foot prominence
based on the raw SRTM data. A few peaks that have at least 2,000 foot prominence may
not be represented on the cell map; similarly, a few peaks that less than
2,000 foot prominence may show on the map. Therefore the map must be regarded
with skepticism for peaks near the 2,000 foot cutoff value."
The originally provided map is somewhat large for efficient Internet transmission unless
you have a high-speed connection. Thereby a smaller version of the map is shown here with,
unfortunately, some of the detail lost due to the resizing.
To recover the original map, just click inside the small map on this page.
Beware of the download time - this is a bitmap of nearly two megabytes.
