The 50 most prominent mountains in New England

Name the 50 most prominent mountains in the 6 New England States as per the 50 Finest list on Wikipedia
Sourced from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_New_England_Fifty_Finest
In the case of #26, there are two adjacent mountains within 5 feet of each other in elevation. Whichever is higher is the one on the list, and the lower of the two has a prominence of a couple of hundred feet at most, but which is higher has not been determined. Both mountains are accepted/
Prominence is not elevation. It is a measurement of the elevation above the highest ridgeline connecting a mountain to a higher mountain. As a result mountains that barely stick above a ridgeline will have small prominences, while smaller, more isolated mountains will have large prominences.

Some Statistics: Maine has the most, with 20 peaks on the list, one of which is shared with Quebec. Next is Vermont, with 15, New Hampshire with 14, and Massachusetts with one.

The most prominent peak in CT 867 ft/267 m, and the most prominent peak in RI is a mere 310 ft/92 m, both well below the cutoff to be on this list.

Of the 67 4,000 footers in New England, only 17 make this list, though the high points in all 4 states on the list are represented. To note that while New Hampshire contains the bulk of the 4,000 foot+ elevation mountains in the region, it is a decided minority of the mountains here, with the lower, more separated mountain ranges of Vermont and Maine housing more mountains in the top 50 most prominent.
