this map & peters recently added map seem to agree substantially
about the tripoint position
tho there do remain the various conflicting ideas about the source of
the nuon to be sorted out
all of which makes me wonder at this point whether the most practical
& correct approach to the tripoint wouldnt just be by a careful
sawanabori of the nuon extended if necessary above its normal source
all the way up to the watershed at the ridge line

do we have any more credible data or better approach

i dont think so

also wondering whether any of marcels recently offered pics couldnt
be scrutinized for the potentially pinpoint conjunction of these 2
features just so as to upgrade his virtual visit in this way from
elusive class e to an at least presumptive class d
