_Hancock, Mt._ (10,100)--R: 10--1871--Barlow--For General W. S. Hancock, U. S. Army, who, as commanding officer of the Department of Dakota, had lent his active aid in the prosecution of the Yellowstone Explorations. _Hawk's Rest_ (9,800)--R: 14--1885--U. S. G. S.--Characteristic. _Hedges Peak_ (9,500)--G: 9--1895--U. S. G. S.--For Cornelius Hedges, a prominent member of the Washburn Expedition, author of a series of descriptive articles upon the trip, and first to advance and publicly advocate the idea of setting apart that region as a National Park. _Holmes, Mt._ (10,300)--F: 4--1878--U. S. G. S.--For W. H. Holmes, Geologist, U. S. Geological Survey. This peak had been previously called Mt. Madison. _Horseshoe Hill_ (8,200)--E: 6--1885--U. S. G.

S.--Characteristic. _Humphreys, Mt._ (11,000)--N: 14--1871--Barlow--For General A. A. Humphreys, then Chief of Engineers, U. S. A. _Index Peak_ (11,740)--C: 16--This mountain, and Pilot Knob near it, received their names from unknown sources prior to 1870. "One of them [the peaks] derives its name from its shape, like a closed hand with the index-finger extending upward, while the other is visible from so great a distance on every side that it forms an excellent landmark for the wandering miner, and thus its appropriate name of Pilot Knob."--Hayden.[CG] [CG] Page 48, Sixth Annual Report of Dr. Hayden. _Joseph Peak_ (10,300)--C: 4--1885--U. S. G. S.--For Chief Joseph, the famous Nez Percé leader in the war of 1877. He deservedly ranks among the most noted of the North American Indians. His remarkable conduct of the campaign of 1877 and his uniform abstinence from those barbarous practices which have always characterized Indian warfare, were a marvel to all who were familiar with the facts. No Indian chief ever commanded to such a degree the respect and even friendship of his enemies. _Junction Butte_ (6,500)--D: 10--When or by whom given not known. The name arose, of course, from the fact that this butte stands at the junction of the two important streams, the Yellowstone and Lamar Rivers. Barlow records that the Butte was known as "Square Butte" at the time of his visit in 1871. _Lake Butte_ (8,600)--K: 11--1878--Characteristic. _Landmark, The_ (8,800)--F: 6--1885--U. S. G.
