Description:
The names North Guard and South Guard appear on either side of Mount Brewer on Lieutenant Milton F. Davis’ map of 1896, but not on other maps of that date. Dr. David Starr Jordan says they were not named or climbed by him, although such has been stated. Norman Clyde climbed North Guard, July 12, 1925, but was in doubt as to whether the point he attained was the higher of two nearly the same altitude. From Place Names of the High Sierra (1926) by Francis P. Farquhar
"'North Guard' and 'South Guard' were named by Lt. Milton F. Davis; they are on his map of 1896. (LeConte, Alpina, 10.) The mountain and creek are named on the first Mt. Whitney 30' map, 1907. The lake was named in 1956 by J. Hoganson, a field-man for the USGS." From - Peter Browning's Place Names of the Sierra Nevada
