Thanks for the map. The only problem is that the Haft Khans fall just outside of that map. You can use the link on top of the main page to see the topographic map I made.

More accurate elevation of the prominent peaks can be read from Iran Coverage Map (1:25000). Measurement method is aerial imagery with 1:40000 accuracy, done in 2010' decade. The results for aforementioned peaks are as below:
Haft Khan #1 4539 m
Haft Khan #2 4531 m
Haft Khan #7 4390 m (actually not a prominent peak)
Haft Khan #5 4455 m
Haft Khan #8 4378 m
Zard 4316 m
Thank you for this info. My page is now 16 years old and the elevations that I used came from maps that are now probably 30+ years old. Since the numbers that you gave are not that different than what appears on my page, I will not make any changes for now.
I should thank you for Central Alboz topographic maps you created. Those maps were the most accurate free maps on the web and I used them several years for hiking, effectively.
