Ferris Mountains
Metadata
Name:Ferris Mountains
Origin Of Name:"In plain sight also north of Grenville, although about 30 miles away, is a range of mountains with striking white scallops on their southern flank. These are the Ferris Mountains, lying just west of the Seminoe Range. The white scallops are vertical beds of limestone which have resisted erosion while the softer beds around them have been worn away. These mountains were named for George Ferris, one of the early settlers in this region, whose name has been applied to several of its natural features and many of its enterprises."
