My approach has been extremely time consuming! I purchased two 30' x 60' USGS Topographic maps ("Mt. Washington" & "Lake Winnipesaukee" maps) and using a protractor against known benchmark Mts (like Bald Knob, Mt Shaw, Red Hill, etc) try to figure out the other peaks (Mt Washington, Chocorua, etc).
I know that everyone has been perched precariously on the edges of their chairs waiting to get a quick glimpse of the fully assembled "map tool" that I put together to assist in identifying the peaks that compose our view from Rattlesnake. I ended up using acrylic instead of glass in this frame because of the cost of such a large piece of glass (42" x 34").
