Question Lost and found

There are several Great Wall locations that I have seen mentioned but have not been able to find. I would like to add sub-forums or information for these locations if I could find the missing data. Anyone who can help will receive a free one-year membership to the Great Wall Forum.

Hebei Qinhuangdao
蓝水关 – Lán shuǐ guān – Blue water pass
平頂峪 – Píng dǐng yů – Flat top valley

Beijing Miyun
一道边 – Yidaobian (Between Baimaguan [40°46'1"N 116°53'60"E] and Fengjiayu [40°37'13"N 116°52'29"E]?)
二道边 – Erdaobian (Between Baimaguan [40°46'1"N 116°53'60"E] and Fengjiayu [40°37'13"N 116°52'29"E]?)
花兜兜 – Huadoudou (near 40°25'51.65"N 117°14'50.71"E?)

Beijing Huairou
九谷口 – Jiǔ gǔ kǒu – Nine valley pass – (Between Hefangkou [40°25'54"N 116°40'18"E] and Shentangyu[40°25'35"N 116°37'48"E]?)

According to the map in The Great Wall in Funing by Li Zhan Yi Pingdingyu should be here: 40°13'33.10"N 119°35'59.21"E

The chinese word is 平顶峪

Should be here 40° 5'15.48"N 119°44'58.35"E or here 40° 4'2.38"N 119°45'12.64"E.

But the first one seems to be called Wangjiayu (王家峪).

Baimaguan - 40°43'5.99"N 116°54'44.66"E
Fengjiayu - 40°37'6.98"N 116°52'12.78"E
Beishicheng - 40°32'23.87"N 116°49'1.78"E

Generally speak ,一道边(Yidaobian) means main GW and 二道边(Erdaobian) means the second wall nearby GW , there are a lot of Erdaobian beside GW . Yidaobian between Baimaguan and Fengjiayu is the main GW which already was included in your map , as for the erdaobian of Baimaguan , it extends east about 250 meters from 40°43'9.14"N 116°54'34.21"E.

Huadoudou ,九谷口 are corrected .
