Much of the tourist propoganda on St. Thomas claims "Mountain Top" to be the island highpoint and in some literature it calls it "St Peter Mountain" after the settlement area there but the USGS map calls the peak Signal Hill. It is part of the overall central ridge of the island but the USGS map cleary surveyed and established Crown Mountian as the high point of the island. This tourist destination, however, is where the cruise ships take you and there are really great views from the platform above. The towers nearby appear to be on the highest ground but the contours make it hard to verify without GPS. Placed the target between towers not remembering which one appeared highest.
The USGS map exists on line for this area with a 1955 with a 1082 photorevised edition and gives a saddle on the ridge with a BM at elevation 1071 which is the col between it and higher Crown Mountain. This is thus, the second highest peak on the island.
