Another couple of Thumbs

First off there's this which is part of this; see also the other Fingers; those names are unofficial but well-known to climbers and pilots. I'm sure you're already aware of the Devils Thumb on the AK-BC boundary in the Stikine Icefield, but there's also The Devil's Thumb in the Nechako Country; Deerhorn Hill in the same area I recall as a cone/pillar-type thing; not sure what the story on it is but suffice to say it's north of the Rainbow/Itcha-Ilgachuz and maybe is Chilcotin Basalts.Skookum1 (talk) 17:16, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Should the title be called something else? I moved the title from volcano to British Columbia because I don't think this mountain is notable enough as a volcano. --Black Tusk (talk) 17:34, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Use "The Thumb (Omineca) for this one, The Thumb (Indian Arm) maybe for the other, although it may not need a separate article from the Five Fingers Group. There are liikely other "Thumbs" out there, I'll be looking at BCGNIS about this; in each case the Parentheses can have the region/locality in them instead of BC.Skookum1 (talk) 17:37, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Precise latlong for The Devil's Thumb is : 53° 35' 43" N, 125° 15' 34" W - elevation 1284m, with about 180m height above the nearby lakes. I'm gonna "patrol" this area later today via basemap looking for othe standing hill/cone type features; and try various searches on areea placenames when found to see if any geology googles turn up.Skookum1 (talk) 17:37, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Didn't feel like downloading the Fawnie Range PDFs which show up for that area; my hard drive's jammed for oen thing.....but I did find Pilot Knoll, Kiuskoil Knoll and Chine Bluff in the area along the West Road River south of there; all about the same elevation as the Devil's Thumb btw.Skookum1 (talk) 17:57, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Deerhorn Hill about 6.5km west of The Devil's Thumb looks to be another candidate (spire-like above a plateau area).Skookum1 (talk) 18:01, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'll probably be adding some infomation latter. The Thumb is the largest among a group of at least seven volcanic plugs which are associated with dikes, flows, and remnants of pyroclastic cones in the Omineca Mountains, but the age appears to be unknown. --Black Tusk (talk) 18:06, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hogem Ranges

How is The Thumb not in the Hogem Ranges? Bivouac lists the Connelly Range as a subrange of the Hogem Ranges.[1] --Black Tusk (talk) 22:08, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, sorry; my memory was fuzzed again and I thought they were "parallel" in hierarchy standing, not one descendant of the other; the same range-familytree is on Interior Mountains and Omineca Mountains, both ofwhich I built from bivouac/my work in bivouac. The name that came up on Basemap when I zoomed out of the find-point was the Connelly Range, and I assoicated Hogem as a singular range, farther eaest near the namesake settllements; me being trigger-happy again ... best to have it Connelly Range, Hogem Ranges; it's too bad we can't do the whole range family -= or can we, i.e. add Omineca Mountains, Interior Mountains, Pacific Cordillera; hard to do in the infobox I guess..... My bad.Skookum1 (talk) 02:22, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
