The mountain is 280 miles from Vancouver, 1861 miles from Toronto and 2047 miles from Montreal.[3] Andrew Onderdonk was a Dutch-American engineer who worked in the late 1800s building the Canadian Pacific Railway in British Columbia and in other locations.[4] William Lowell Putnam and Roger W. Laurilla gave the mountain this name as a tribute to Onderdonk.[5][6]
