Maine County High Points, benchmark data

Arranged alphabetically by county. There are 16 counties in Maine; but there are 18 peaks listed since two counties, Washington and York, have competing high points either of which could be the true highest peak.

Names in parentheses are alternate names for the peak. EL,ft = Elevation in feet. EL = How the elevation is shown on the map. A BM entry indicates a brass survey monument or benchmark is at the summit. Topo Map (7.5 min) = The topo map the peak is on. YR = The year of the topo map data was taken from. BM Name = The name stamped on the benchmark. PID = The Permanent Identifier used by the USGS to identify benchmarks. Date = The year the benchmark was first placed.
