Ojibway Peak is a 7,303-foot-elevation (2,226-meter) mountain summit located on the border shared by Lincoln and Sanders counties in Montana.

Description

Ojibway Peak is located 22 miles (35 km) south of Libby, Montana, in the Cabinet Mountains Wilderness, on land managed by Kaniksu National Forest and Kootenai National Forest.^[2] It is set west of the Continental Divide in the Cabinet Mountains which are a subrange of the Rocky Mountains.^[1] Precipitation runoff from the mountain's east slope drains into Libby Creek which is a tributary of the Kootenai River, whereas the west slope drains into Rock Creek which is a tributary of the Clark Fork River. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises over 3,300 feet (1,000 m) above Rock Creek in one mile (1.6 km) and 2,345 feet (715 m) above Rock Lake in 0.6 mile (1 km). The mountain's toponym was officially adopted in 1923 by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names and the name is a Native American word.^[3]^[4]

Climate

Based on the Köppen climate classification, Ojibway Peak is located in a subarctic climate zone characterized by long, usually very cold winters, and cool to mild summers.^[5] Winter temperatures can drop below −10 °F with wind chill factors below −30 °F.

Olson Mountain rises more than 3,700 feet (1,100 m) above the western shore of Waterton Lake. The mountain was named for a surveyor on the International Boundary Survey, with the name officially adopted in 1929. The nearest higher peak is Campbell Mountain, 1.13 miles (1.82 km) to the north, and Citadel Peaks is two miles to the south. Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains into Olson Creek before it empties to Waterton Lake.

Mount Noyes is a 3,080-metre (10,100-foot) mountain summit located in the Mistaya River valley of Banff National Park, in the Canadian Rockies of Alberta, Canada. Mount Noyes is situated at the confluence of Silverhorn Creek and Mistaya River, 3.5 km northwest of Mount Weed, and 9.2 km east of Howse Peak. Its nearest higher peak is Mount Patterson, 8.55 km (5.31 mi) to the south. Topographic relief is significant as it rises over 1,380 metres above the Icefields Parkway in two km.

Clyde Peak is an 8,610-foot-elevation (2,620-meter) mountain summit located in Glacier National Park in the U.S. state of Montana. The mountain straddles the border shared by Flathead County and Glacier County. It is situated on the Continental Divide so precipitation runoff from the west side of the mountain drains into Thompson Creek which is part of the Middle Fork Flathead River watershed, and the east side drains into headwaters of Red Eagle Creek, which flows to Red Eagle Lake, thence Saint Mary Lake. It is set in the Lewis Range, and the nearest higher neighbor is Mount Logan 1.44 mile to the northwest. Topographic relief is significant as the southwest aspect rises approximately 4,000 feet in one mile.

Spot Mountain is a 7,831-foot-elevation (2,387-meter) mountain summit located in the Two Medicine area of Glacier National Park, in Glacier County, Montana, United States. It is situated in the Lewis Range, nine miles northwest of East Glacier Park Village, and approximately five miles east of the Continental Divide. Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains into tributaries of Cut Bank Creek and Two Medicine River, which merge to form the Marias River. Topographic relief is significant as the south aspect rises nearly 3,000 feet above Lower Two Medicine Lake in two miles. The mountain's name was officially adopted in 1929 by the United States Board on Geographic Names.

Citadel Peaks is a mountain ridge located in the Goat Haunt area of Glacier National Park, in Glacier County of the U.S. state of Montana. This arête with a row of sharp points is part of the Livingston Range, and is approximately four miles east of the Continental Divide. Neighbors include Olson Mountain, two miles (3.2 km) to the north, Mount Cleveland four miles (6.4 km) to the east, and Kootenai Peak 2.7 miles (4.3 km) to the south. Topographic relief is significant as Citadel Peaks rises over 3,800 feet above Waterton Lake in less than two miles, and 3,000 feet above Lake Janet in one mile. Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains to the south end of Waterton Lake. The first ascent of Citadel Spire, a major pinnacle on the ridge, was made in 1967 by Jerry Kanzler, Jim Kanzler, Ray Martin, and Clare Pogreba. This geographical feature's name was officially adopted in 1929 by the United States Board on Geographic Names. To the Pikuni people, Citadel Peaks is known as "Ataniawxis", meaning "The Needles".
