Mount Rockwell is situated along the Continental Divide and Aurice Lake is just west of the "peak." A Blackfeet name for the mountain is "Rising Bull Mountain." It was named for a Blackfeet chief who, after staying with the Flathead people of his wife for a number of winters, was appointed one of their chiefs for his bravery. And his kind and "generous nature."
