The John Crow Mountains are a range of mountains in Jamaica. They extend parallel with the north east coast of the island, bounded to the west by the banks of the Rio Grande, and joining with the eastern end of the Blue Mountains in the southeast.〔 The highest point in the range is a little over .〔UK Directorate of Overseas Surveys 1:50,000 map of Jamaica sheet N, 1967.〕 The name John Crow first recorded in the 1820s and comes from the Jamaican name for the turkey vulture. It has been suggested that previous to this, the range was known as the "Carrion Crow Ridge", after an earlier name for the vulture.〔("Eager for Ecclesdown Road" ) at (www.10000birds.com ).
