Steens Mountain is the largest fault block mountain in North America, not part of a mountain chain, rather it is properly a single mountain.

Once known as Snowy Mountain by the first European fur trappers, it was renamed in 1860 to commemorate US Army Major Enoch Steen, who had fought and drove the Paiute tribe off the mountain, which was part of their traditional lands.
