FOOTNOTES

We strive to have the most accurate summit elevations in every instance. Unfortunately, the authors have not had access to large-scale topographic mapping of Iran. We invite your comments and/or corrections if you have access to the most recent topographic surveys (1:50,000) or other elevation data.

Most of the elevations above were derived from Soviet 1:200,000 mapping and from detailed analysis of SRTM data. Where there was a high degree of concurrence, elevations from the Soviet maps are used. In several cases however, the elevations are estimated from SRTM data

[44]

Cheekha Dar appears as "Bozdag" on the Soviet map. Cheekha Dar is a Kurdish name meaning "Black Tent", a reference to the shape of the mountain. We believe this mountain is higher than Hasar Rost, and thus also the highpoint of Iraq, according to information provided by Ginge Fullen.
