View quad selector for the Master List.

Quads which are "greyed out" have not yet been analyzed for peaks.

All data in the Master List is derived from primary research by Jeff Howbert.  USGS topographic maps in the 7.5 minute series are visually inspected for summits satisfying any of the above rules for inclusion, and the results entered into a database.  The project has consumed four years so far, and is expected to require another two years before the state is completely analyzed.

The quad selector is built on a shaded color landform map created by Ray Sterner at Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, ray.sterner@jhuapl.edu, which is copyright by him and used with his permission.  To see his entire collection of beautiful landform maps, visit http://fermi.jhuapl.edu/states/.

The grid of quad boundaries and "grey-out" were added by Jeff Howbert.

Techie notes: the Master List lives in a MySQL database and contains over 6500 records in four linked tables.  It is accessed by your browser via Perl scripts.  The quad selector, database, and scripts were developed together as a system on a Windows 98SE box using Apache's Web server, then ported with almost no modification to their current Linux environment.  All these components are available free to the public for non-commercial use.  Developing this site for the Web has cost nothing, other than the $10 a month to rent Web hosting space from Netherweb.
