Frank,
Go downstream a couple of miles then check out the east side slope.  There's an area that goes over 1600 ft. in section 14.

Dan you are correct, I just got in a hurry. It's past my bedtime, I will see you all in the morning. Thanks again Charles and Dan for making me work by brain. That was an interesting search.

Anyone know what the spot where it says 1601 is?

Wilma, I think you might know this.

Would it be the hill that I can see the top of straight west of my kitchen window?  What map are you guys using?  My maps are old ownership maps of Elk county and I don't think any of them give elevation.  I have found Grouse Creek that seems to flow to the west instead of southeast and goes through the Youngmeyer property.  However, I cannot recall that any part of that is higher than the Green ranch which would also drain into Grouse Creek.  Without a better map that is about as good as I can do.  Section 15 or 22, TSH 29, Range 8.  Daughter has a better map.  Will get back to you.

There seems to be a spot in Section 35, Township 29, Range 8 E.  The elevation seems to be 1650.

The topographic map shows a 'spot elevation' of 1601 right where the gate to the Green Ranch is.  There may be a spot higher than 1601 just north or south of that gate, as the contour line of 1600 does run into the Green Ranch a ways, as well as the Youngemeyer.

Here's a shot of the gate:  http://www.backroadstouring.net/btk/04_28_02/107-0798_IMG.jpg

And a shot looking east from the spot:  http://www.backroadstouring.net/btk/04_28_02/107-0795_IMG.jpg

P.S. Wilma, is this the sunflower picture we were discussing earlier:  http://www.backroadstouring.net/btk/09_02_01/104_0451.JPG

Charlie, that's the shot.  Those other shots look so familiar, especially the one looking east.  We used to drive that road just for the view.

I just walked due north into Elk County, but I didn't come from Chautauqua County.  Where in Elk County Am I?
