Place: CA-Fin Dome

Fin Dome (Mt Whitney)
(Long, Lat)

Description:
Named by Dolton Coit Brown, in 1899, when he explored the lake basin in its vicinity. He likened the ridge between this basin and Rae Lake to a sea-monster, which he showed on a sketch-map with “The Head . . . . . The Fin,” and “The Tail.” (S.C.B., 1900, III:2, p. 136.)  From Place Names of the High Sierra (1926)
by Francis P. Farquhar
