Ryant Bush[edit]

The U.S. National Geodetic Survey has some interesting names for thier stations. Not to worry. This station is at the summit of Mount Frissell. If in doubt just check the coordinates. --DRoll (talk) 03:47, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

New York?[edit]

Judging by the map (especially the in-article location one, but Google Maps also support that, if barely), the mountain is not only in Connecticut and Massachusetts, but also partially in New York (of which the closest point seems to be about half a kilometer (1500ft) away and about 200 meters (600ft) before the saddle to the nearby Brace Mountain). Is it notable enough to be listed? --91.77.77.231 (talk) 19:49, 17 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

My best guess is that it is not, if only because Brace Mountain is west of Mount Frissell but is still partially inside Connecticut & Massachusetts, so Mount Frissell can't be partially in New York for that to be true. Note that most in-article maps are user made and are meant to convey a general idea and not necessarily perfect accuracy. Best, Markvs88 (talk) 20:47, 17 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
If there is a map that can show it, look at the 650-meter (exact, so no feet equivalent, but I think 2170 feet would also work if it is somehow easier to find) line; it is disjoint at Brace and Frissell yet the Frissell one crosses into New York (by about 100 meters). The Brace one, meanwhile, crosses into both Massachusetts (northern ridge) and Connecticut (southeastern ridge); basically, Brace is a long jagged ridge (in fact, the Connecticut portion is actually from a barely-lower subsummit, so I'd say Brace extending into Connecticut is also a stretch), while Frissell is more of a usual sort of hill on whose southwestern ridge intrudes the corner of New York. Thus we get both mountains in all three states.
(Besides, does it extend into actual NY or not, Frissell is even closer to the tripoint than Brace is. Surely we need to at least mention New York somewhere?)

On what map, specifically? I can't say it's absolute, but Google Earth shows the coords as -73.482056,42.049675, which makes it a quarter mile from the NY state line. Likewise, it puts Brace with coords of -73.4927216,42.0444183, which is also about a quarter mile from the CT border. Best, Markvs88 (talk) 22:02, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
