We did a trip to Owlshead last Sunday and after we got back we were supprised in finding we were at the first knob on Owlshead for the summit. The caron was there as well as a sign nailed to the tree. The NGeographic USGS map has an X on the northern knob. I assume that should be the summit?
If you click on the link you should see the track we took and eneded at the southern knob and the X at the northern knob on the USGS map.
I checked DeLorme's USGS map and that has the X 4025 at the northern knob also.
The contour lines are the same for both so why would the USGS put the X at the northern knob? What's the odds they're both the exact same altitude?

p.s. if you see the red blob next to the river about 1/4 of a mile from the turn to the slide that's my camp for the nite. Don't use that spot it wasn't too good but " any port in a storm."
