Buena Vista City Highpoint Identity
Date: December 2014
Author: Adam Helman
City boundaries have changed, with the
previous highpoint
at WGS84 (37.75866° N, 79.33735° W) no longer the highest ground.
The traditional USGS topographic chart does not display this shift.
There are two new candidate highpoints -
- Candidate one
at WGS84 (37.72856° N, 79.33752° W) is a 1,480+/- foot liner on the south edge of Laurel Park.
- Candidate two
at WGS84 (37.70636° N, 79.35614° W) is a 1,440+ foot liner 0.25 mile NNW of Little Pinnacle.
Reports numbered 1 through 4 are thus no longer relevant, yet are retained for historical and personal interest.
