East Dome, Mt St Helens

John,

Was on the east flank of St Helens (Skamania County, WA) this weekend. Visibility was terrible, with fog & snow, but when I looked over towards East Dome, saw 2 domes. The GPS pointed to the southern dome. Thought at the time that seemed a little strange, because the northern one is more impressive, more defined. When I came home & looked at maps, all had the "northern" dome labeled as "East Dome". No one has summitted this yet, so shouldn't get anyone mad to change it.

Depends which map - newer ones have changed the location.
Older map:

Newer:

GNIS puts the location where the newer maps refer to it, so I'll update it:
