Elevation

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

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

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]
