Mount Septimus
Mount Septimus is the western summit of a jagged mountain on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, located southeast of Gold River and south of Buttle Lake. It contains a huge glacier on the north flank. The highest peak on the massif is Mount Rosseau, located to the west.〔(Mount Septimus ) in the Canadian Mountain Encyclopedia〕
==History==
There are a couple of possibilities of the source of Mount Septimus' name recorded in the BC Geographical Names Information System:〔BC Geographical Names Information System, Mount Septimus〕
"By some, thought to be descriptive - Septimus being a mountain of seven peaks." (List of Place Names in Strathcona Park, compiled by Allan C. Brooks, and reprinted in "Natural & Human History Themes, Strathcona Provincial Park" a special report produced by Betty Brooks for BC Parks Branch, 1989.)
Source: BC place name cards, or correspondence to/from BC's Chief Geographer or BC Geographical Names Office
"Possibly named after Septimus Evans, surgeon aboard S.S. Beaver." (that this assumption is likely made because of the mountain's proximity to Price Creek and a mistaken assumption that Price Creek was named for Capt John Price, HMS Scout, under whom Septimus Evans was surgeon before joining the hired vessel Beaver under Captain Pender, 1868. )
