Tallest in Coast Range?

[edit]

Mount Bolivar in Coos County is supposed to be 4262 feet. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Greg.collver (talkcontribs) 16:53, 15 January 2020 (UTC) [https://journeywithstevenmichael.blogspot.com/2008/12/mount-bolivar.html} — Preceding unsigned comment added by Greg.collver (talkcontribs) 16:57, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's apparently a problem of definition: Mount Bolivar is apparently considered by some to be in the Klamath Mountains, not the Oregon Coast Range. The blog entry you've linked above explains some of the problems in assigning Mount Bolivar to a particular range. Oddly, this U.S. Forest Service page says that Marys Peak is the highest in the Oregon Coast Range, whereas this page on the same site says that Mount Bolivar is the highest in the Oregon Coast Range. If you go by our article on the Oregon Coast Range, which says that the southern boundary of the range is the Middle Fork of the Coquille River, Mount Bolivar is definitely not in that range.

Not a volcano

[edit]

Some of the rocks on Marys Peak are igneous, perhaps the products of long-ago undersea volcanism, but that doesn't mean that it ever was itself a volcano. (Indeed, the same applies to the whole Oregon Coast Range.) Category:Volcanoes of Oregon and Category:Volcanoes of the United States are for actual volcanoes, not anything happening to be "volcanic in nature", and the uncited statement that "Marys Peak may be one of the extinct remnants of an island volcano" is, I think, unsupportable.
