Elevation[edit]

The U.S. National Geodetic Survey lists a benchmark at 9,725 feet (2,964 m) NAVD 88, however this is not at the highest point on the mountain. The United States Geological Survey Wildhorse Lake map shows a point nearby with an elevation of 9,733 feet (2,967 m) NGVD 29. On this map the benchmark is shown as being at 9,715 feet (2,961 m) NGVD 29. –droll [chat] 06:30, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Coordinates[edit]

The coordinates given by Peakbagger seem more accurate for the highest point on the mountain than those from GNISS. The GNISS coordinates might will be accurate by some standard and I almost always defer to GNISS but Wikipedia usually gives the coordinates of a mountains summit. This might be a result of a difference in definitions as the Steens have a number of summits. –droll [chat] 05:21, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Steens Mountain[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Steens Mountain's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 15:22, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
