Old Mt. Emma (5,063 ft.)

"Jack Bascom relates that he gave this name to this peak. This was done simply so he and Weldon Heald could still count this, (the original summit of "Mount Emma") as one of their 100 peaks. After they climbed it, the name had been moved by the USGS to its present location on the USGS Mt Emma topo (1940).

This remains an HPS use-name only.

Name first appeared in current location on USGS Mt Emma Advance Sheet (1935).

Peak was on the original 1946 HPS Peak List."
