Point Identification
Below are some examples of particular types of points found in the United States with a particular emphasis towards Texas. My goal is to have six images of each point type showing variations. Click on an image for a larger version with more detail. Bold names are actual historical names of the particular point, non-bold names are general classifications usually based on general shapes.
