What the name refers to
'Indianhead Mountain' is a place name used for several geographic features — most prominently summits in the western United States (notably in Montana and the American West) and similarly named features elsewhere.
Because place names repeat, this guide disambiguates: it collects the documented features, their locations and the sources that name them, rather than guessing at one.
Why an old domain matters for places
Place-name domains registered in the 1990s often hold the earliest web record of a location — old gazetteer scans, park service pages, climbing and hiking references that have since moved or vanished.
This guide keeps those references reachable and dated, so a researcher in 2026 can still find what a 1998 page said.
Planning a visit (general guidance)
Before visiting any mountain feature: confirm which 'Indianhead' you mean, check land-management status (national forest, park, private), seasonal access and weather — mountain conditions change fast.
Leave the itinerary with someone, carry the ten essentials, and treat topographic maps as the authority over trail apps.
