Talk:List of peaks on the Alberta–British Columbia border

To do list
This is a huge project that I have no intention of finishing in any great hurry, and there's some things others could do to help out. Name origin can be sourced from BCGNIS, elevation from http://bivouac.com (in most cases) or from the BC Provincial Basemap service; a prominence field could be added I suppose....how I've found these is to google BCGNIS+"on BC-Alberta Boundary" and to get a local area response specifying latitude; so far I've worked my way into the low 199s of longitude and also just happened to have a search in the Columbia Icefield area so put those in too; I suspect there are eventually well over 100 peaks, perhaps 200......CGNDB cites are a luxury/add-on which should be included as a "national reference" though in nearly all cases their coordinates will match those in BCGNIS. Relative location should be by whichever subdivision of the Continental Ranges something is in; which parks things are in will be found out by using GeoHack, I guess, or for someone famliar with the park boundaries more than I am.....Skookum1 (talk) 17:39, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

(almost) all done with entries
near as I can tell, I've got all the named summits along the boundary; other than those which BCGNIS doesn't state "on the BC-Alberta boundary"....there seem to be more in some areas, maybe someone more familiar with the Rockies could fill in the blanks; e.g. the area between Kicking Horse and Vermilion Passes seems to have some distinct summits, visible on Googlemaps, but I can't find BCGNIS refs in that latlong-range...SE of Mount Ball, I guess it's the Ball Range, there seem to be some big peaks; but maybe the peaks are only in Alberta and the divide skirts their SW edges?...other than that, elevations and other citations are now needed, as well as which parks many of these are in; I was uncertain of the division point between Banff and Jasper Parks and don't know how far south Banff goes, or what the Alberta parks on that side of the line are; some of the peaks in teh Height of the Rockies, Mt Assiniboine and Mt Robson areas might be in those parks; certainly up around Mt Cote many are in Kakwa and Willmore Parks....Skookum1 (talk) 16:29, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

Chinook Ridge
this is located north of Dinosaur Ridge and its summit is not on the 120th Meridian, though its BCGNIS entry says it extends NW from the BC-Alberta boundary; I have not included it, ditto various other ridges farther south also which "extend from the BC-Alberta boundary". Because they touch the boundary, maybe they should be included, I don't know. See 54.65556°N, -120.02917°W. There may be isolated buttes farther north towards the NWT border, I'm not sure, all would be only hills/bumps if they do exist....Skookum1 (talk) 20:32, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
