Intersection Mountain, 2,461 metres (8,074 ft) prominence: 816 metres (2,677 ft),[2] is a mountain on the Continental Divide. The mountain is so named because it lies at the intersection of the 120th meridian where the British Columbia and Alberta[3] border diverges from its line along the Divide northwards along the meridian. The mountain is in Kakwa Provincial Park in British Columbia and Willmore Wilderness Park in Alberta and is near Casket Pass.[2]
