The Forest Service also uses the name in their publications:

There seems to be some confusion on the highest point on the ridge. Several sources say that 7491 is the high point. I thought that point appeared slightly higher too, but I have never made an attempt to measure it and don't know anyone who has.
Hiking the Wasatch, all editions indicate that LoJ 7500 is the highpoint, but in that book it is listed as 7520. LoJ is probably the most accurate figure (?), but it would be nice to get a true elevation.
