A little more perspective
The WY_FEMA_East_2019_D19 USGS 3DEP tile, published July 4, 2021, preserves the tower’s narrow rock column at native one-meter spacing. Its maximum is 1,558.0868 meters in NAVD88, about 27 meters from the initial summit coordinate. The displayed decimals retain a stored raster value and do not claim millimeter survey accuracy. The familiar USGS 5,112-foot reference comes from the 1984 quadrangle and remains an independent source.
This bounded section has 387.0 meters of local relief above its lowest sampled point, at 44.590627° latitude and -104.703954° longitude. That base belongs to the documented window; it is not a universal mountain base, topographic prominence or a climbing route’s ascent.
Native 1-meter UTM zone 13N NAD83 grid samples. Geographic coordinates are transformed to NAD83 longitude/latitude for reporting; elevations stay in NAVD88. No resampling, summit correction or datum conversion.
