Q:

Creating a point corresponding to the maximum elevation of a DEM

I am wondering how can I create a point corresponding to the maximum elevation value of a DEM. I mean, from the DEM I can easily get the maximum elevation. For the sake of a viewshed analysis, I would like to create a point feature corresponding to the spot with maximum elevation. I guess it is simple, but I am having difficulties in finding the right procedure. 
I am using arcgis 10.1 (with advanced license). 

A:

if you compute the statistics of your raster, (or with zonal statistics if you look for a specific zone), you can find its maximum value (properties > source > Statistics > max)
Then you can use the value in raster calculator
Con("raster" == maxvalue, 1)

EDIt: where maxvalue is either the raster created by zonal statistics or the value that you read in the properties.
EDIT Actually it does work in Map algebra. Thank you @WhiteboxDev for the idea :
 Con("raster" == "raster".maximum, 1 )

and convert the resulting raster to point.
