Footnotes:

[2]  Mt. McPherson is the highpoint of Santa Cruz county.  The topo map shows Mt. Bielawski, which is properly the name of a separate, lower summit (with a fire lookout) a few hundred feet southwest of McPherson, the true summit.  The summit is on private property.

[4]  The benchmark atop San Bruno Mtn., is 1314' (old datum), 1319' (new datum).  A February 2005 survey by Edward Earl and Aaron Maizlish indicates the highest natural outcrop is two feet above the BM for a total 1316'.  Saddle was not surveyed but is believed to be approximately 190' for a total prominence of 1126', which would indicate that San Bruno Mtn. is the most-prominent summit in San Mateo County (Scarpet Peak is the other possible contender at P1104-1119'.)

[5]  Scarpet Peak, two possible key saddles at 840-20 and 850-25.  This is the highest summit on Montara Mtn., and is mislabelled "Scarper Peak" on the USGS map.

[16]  Mt. Davidson is the highpoint of San Francisco County, with a gigantic statue of the cross on its summit.
