Mount Williams is a 7,200+ ft (2,190+ m) glaciated mountain summit located in the Chugach Mountains in the U.S. state of Alaska. The peak is situated 30 mi (48 km) northeast of Cordova, and 2.5 mi (4 km) northwest of Mount O'Neel, on land managed by Chugach National Forest. Although modest in elevation, relief is significant as it rises over 5,000 feet (1,500 m) in less than one mile from the immense Childs Glacier.
The peak was named in 1910 by Lawrence Martin for Alfred Williams, assistant engineer for the Copper River and Northwestern Railway, which built a $1,500,000 steel bridge across the Copper River near this mountain in 1909-1910.[3] The mountain's name was officially adopted in 1930 by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names.
