| Lolli | Mount Nystrom | |
Voted 10/10 | I'd guess the name originally was Mount Nyström. It means New stream and is a not uncommon as last name. Somebody named it after him/herself. | |

Hasn't voted | Greg, -Nystrom was named in 1877 by F.M. Endlich (on the Hayden Survey) for his wife's family. -Nystrom is geographically of interest because at this point the Continental Divide leaves the crest of the range, entering the Great Divide Desert while the crest of the range skews into the Sweetwater drainage. | |
