Originally,
Rib Mountain was thought to be the highest point in Wisconsin. However, this was later proved to be incorrect. While Timms Hill has the highest elevation in the state, Rib Mountain has the largest
height differential from the surrounding landscape.

Prominence is not equivalent to elevation. Read
topographic prominence. This statement is at least misleading. --

Elevation
There are two
National Geodetic Survey stations on the summit:
OGEMA and
OGEMA TOWER. OGEMA has an elevation of 1951.5 feet on a concrete post projecting 2 inches while OGEMA TOWER has an elevation of 1952 on a concrete post which projects 14. USGS states that the elevation is 1951 feet, probably
NGVD 29. I have entered the elevation as 1951 feet. VERTCON reports a difference of less than an inch of at this location. --
