This schematic map is very helpful to illustrate the location of the 8,000m peaks. However, as currently drawn it suggests that of Annapurna and Dhaulagiri, the former is the westernmost, whereas I believe the reverse is true. I think that either:
1. the labeling of the two peaks has been transposed or positioned incorrectly (or at least so as to be misleading), OR
2. (more likely) Annapurna is shown AND labeled at the correct location, but Dhaulagiri is incorrectly located on the schematic. As shown, Dhaulagiri appears to be located roughly where Annapurna II is in reality; instead it should be roughly where the "r" in the label 'Annapurna' is currently shown.
Source: Paper atlas, or Google Maps [1] (although note that Annapurna I is for some reason only shown on the latter as a 'Scenic Point' rather than a Mountain Peak, and with a ridiculously minor prominence so that you have to search for it or zoom in masssively before it appears) JA 1961 (talk) 13:58, 22 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
