Highest Elevation in Albany County

There was a discussion on Facebook about the highest point in Albany County. I thought this would be an easy and fun GIS question. Looking at 10 m digital elevation model, the answer would be 42.52806632, -74.19845216 -- the lands of Susan R Lubbin, 776 Pond Hill Rd, Town of Rensselaerville (94.8 acres). Officially, Henry Hill at 2,162 foot elevation is the highest point in county, however at least from digital elevation model, Henry Hill is 2,164 ft and the lands of Ms. Lubbins is 2,170 ft.
