Incorrect elevation

Slide Mountain, NY, is labeled as being 4200 m, when it should be 1280 m. It is approximately 4200 ft.

Thanks for the bug report, @GCNorth. The elevation data for those peak labels comes from Natural Earth. I don't have time to check right now, but we should look in the Natural Earth data to see if the elevation is correct there.

See also #101 for a similar error. And if the error is present in Natural Earth, we should open an issue there: https://github.com/nvkelso/natural-earth-vector/issues/

It looks like this data bug has been fixed in Natural Earth: https://github.com/nvkelso/natural-earth-vector/issues/169. Currently the data for Terrain hasn't been updated in years, but when we do finally update the data, we can pull from a newer version of Natural Earth that doesn't have this error.
