Charlottesville City Highpoint Identity
Date: December 2014
Author: Adam Helman
City boundaries have changed, with the
previous highpoint
at WGS84 (38.03301° N, 78.51946° W) now outside the city limits.
The traditional USGS topographic chart does not display this shift.
The new highpoint
at WGS84 (38.04130° N, 78.51747° W) is a 640+ foot liner 0.2 mile east of Lewis Mountain's summit.
Reports numbered 1 through 5 are thus no longer relevant, yet are retained for historical and personal interest.
