 Henry D. Washburn named a peak near Mammoth Hot Springs "Mount Everts" shortly after Everts' rescue.During the expedition, Washburn had named a peak in the Thorofare region south of Yellowstone Lake for Everts but later changed it to the current peak, believing it to be near the location of the rescue.In fact Everts was rescued much farther north, near Blacktail Deer Creek.
