locator map broken

I created this page in order to split up the Chalk Mountains article, while cleaning up California mountain ranges articles. The chalk Mountains article was a stub stating the locations of three ranges with that name in California, Colorado and Texas.

The Texas map locator seems to be broken. I have an automated script to generate mountain range stubs like this, which has worked so far for California, Nevada and Colorado map locators. For now I'm going to leave the map locator for someone else to fix. The coordinates are correct from USGS GNIS. So I presume it will start to work when the locator map problem is fixed.

Fixed I added the previously-missing template Template:Geobox locator Texas which fixed the locator map. Ikluft (talk) 22:01, 16 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No such mountains at given location

The coordinates given in the article and from the GNIS reference do not correspond to any named mountain (or any mountain) on the Twin Peaks TX 7.5' quad. The elevation of the area is about right but named peaks/mountains to the north and southeast are higher. There is a Chalk Draw in the NE corner of the map about 8.5 km to the NE. Haven't checked adjacent quads yet. This stub was generated from GNIS info with seemingly no checking. The Rosillos Mountains are to the SE ~ 7 km. Vsmith (talk) 17:10, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
