    Spectre Pt's summit is the high point of the Coxcomb Mtns. It is 0.3 mi SW of benchmark Aqua. The 7- 1/2’ topo is in error; the highest contour lines at Spectre Pt. are missing. Spectre Pt. is about 70 feet higher than BM Aqua. The DPS uses the name 'Tensor Pt.' for BM Aqua, and the name 'Dyadic' for the point 0.3 mi. ENE of Spectre Pt. at UTM 478661.

      ^ = metric contours and elevations on 7.5' maps (in 7.5' map columns)
      Name Mt  => 'Mt' should be before peak 'Name' (ex: Rose Mt is Mount Rose, but sorted on 'Rose')
      Name Mtn => 'Mtn' is after peak 'Name' as listed (ex: Muah Mtn is Muah Mountain)
      Maps listed here are USGS 7.5 minute topo quads
