Cecil Rhode Mountain
Cecil Rhode Mountain is a mountain summit located in the Kenai Mountains, on the Kenai Peninsula in the state of Alaska. The mountain is situated in Chugach National Forest, south of Anchorage, and south of Cooper Landing, Alaska. This peak is shown on maps as "Cooper Benchmark", the northernmost peak on a ridge which includes "Stetson Benchmark" (4,576-ft), and Peak 4593. The mountain was named for Cecil E. Rhode (1902–1979), director of the Izaak Walton League, wildlife photographer, and writer who lived in Cooper Landing for 42 years and was best known for bringing wide exposure to the public about the wilds of Alaska, particularly in magazines such as "National Geographic", "Sports Afield", and "Outdoor Life". The mountain's name was officially adopted August 13, 1981, by the United States Board on Geographic Names. Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains into the Kenai River.
