This map shows elevation grid for Tricorner Knob and Mt Yonaguska, based on 2009 LiDAR data. High point is 6176' on Mt Yonaguska versus 6143' at Tricorner. Here is pre-LiDAR gridded map where Tricorner was highest at 6136' and Mt Yonaguska was 6134

2011 USGS DEM data (3m) has been revised a bit Tricorner: 35.695679,-83.254452, 6144.9 and Yonaguska: 35.694136,-83.248279, 6178.1

☹ Sadly, the microsoft terraserver (MSTopo) USGS topo map server is no longer active. The MSTopo had a higher resolution topo and was the base layer for the google map above. To zoom in try selecting the ArcGIS topo base map.

The grid of elevation points is based on older generations (e.g., 2009) of USGS 10M DEM data. See naionalmap elevation data.
