Monashee Mountains are a 400-km-long range of varied origin in southern BC. To the W they merge with the Okanagan and Shuswap highlands; their eastern boundary is the S-flowing COLUMBIA RIVER. The highest point in the range is 3375 m. The name, meaning peaceful mountain, was given by a Scottish prospector. The border area around ROSSLAND, GRAND FORKS and GREENWOOD was settled in the 1890s and has had prosperous periods of copper mining and smelting.
