Talk:Dark Mountain

Other Dark Mtn volcanoes
I think maybe the citation ref from Volcanoes of Canada should be this instead of the main Dark Mtn page, since there appear to be more than one vent/cone on its slopes; not sure if the Eagle item listed is the same as the Eaglehead Cones mentioned in Holland, though, or if Dark Mtn vents were included in those; probably not, by Holland's descrpition, or he would have said Dark Mtn I think....Skookum1 (talk) 19:47, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I've added both citations. Black Tusk (talk) 20:04, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Is this in the Cassiar Mountains? I've created Meehaz Mountain as well. Black Tusk (talk) 20:38, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
 * According to Holland's detailed map, which is easier to understand than his textual descriptions btw, both Dark Mtn and Pyramid Mtn are right on the boundary between the Stikine Ranges/Cassiar Mountains and the Tanzilla Plateau/Stikine Plateau; the text should state both and the map-link can be used for the cite. Only the westernmost of the volcanoes in the group, of the red dots showing on Holland's map, is in the Tanzilla Plateau; all the others, presumably e.g. Dark Mtn South, are in the Stikine Ranges; but Dark's summit and Pyramid's summit are "border points" between the Plateau(s) and the Ranges/Mountains.Skookum1 (talk) 22:48, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I just compared GoogleMaps and Holland's map; Meehaz is right south of the Atsutla Range, right? Both are in the Kawdy Plateau, i.e. the Stikine Plateau, not the Cassiar Mountains.  "Cassiar Country", however, is adequate for a regional description (though within that you'll hear Teslin Country, Liard Country, Dease Country etc.)Skookum1 (talk) 23:14, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Then I suggest Nuthinaw Mountain is the same. Black Tusk (talk) 23:45, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Yup, sure is, just looked at hte googlemap; what's that other butte-like thing off to its east? Also, location descriptions in this case can probably say something like "so many kilometres north fo the confluence of the Tuya and teh ?? River", so many miles southeast of Meehaz Mountain, i.e. mention other nearby summits, landmarks, not just the 75 km NW of Dease Lake.....Category:Cassiar Country also applies...for now; t here may be a more specfiic local term, it would help to have a contributor in Dease Lake or Telegraph Creek or Teslin LOL....This might be Teslin Country.....Skookum1 (talk) 23:50, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
 * well, what was I saying about otherwise reliable sources ignoring official toponymy? when I get a chance I'll copy-paste an email I got the other day from CGNDB about that.....the "solid" reference in this case has to be Holland's Landforms; if sources from non-toponymic authorities simply make "mountains in the Cassiar Country" equated to "Cassiar Mountains", that's a mistake, and ignores the official toponymy; and is therefore a bad source, at least for place descriptions; to say "north of the forks of the Tuya River" is easily citable by using Holland's map as a reference, of linking Basemap Online Store.Skookum1 (talk) 00:38, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, those locations were pulled from the references and all don't mention anything else. Black Tusk (talk) 00:13, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, BTW the other butte-like thing east of Nuthinaw is Tutsingale Mountain. Could probably use that for another location as well. Black Tusk (talk) 00:42, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
