This chart is based on the examination and measurement of 7.5-minute quadrangles (except for San Luis Peak, a 15-minute quadrangle showing no sub-peaks), at their 40' resolution, looking for any high points above 14000'. Those marked ( * ) are generally-recognized sub-peaks. "Rise" means rise above the nearest saddle and may be off as much as 80 feet. Distances, "Distance", to main peaks were measured to 0.5mm accuracy and then scaled up to miles. As the comments column indicates, nine multiple peaks and 12 in-between peaks may be added to the 40 sub-peaks listed, giving a total of 61 high points.  —Alan Silverstein
