| History: | Several geographic names, including Victorio Peak, were submitted by Professor Aubrey Drury on behalf of the Southern Pacific Railroad for unnamed features along the Apache Trail. Many of these names were approved by the USBGN on 07 November 1917, and on 01 February 1933, most of t he names were vacated by the Board at the request of the U.S. Forest Service. The name Victorio Peak was one of these names, and the decision was vacated based on the Forest Service recommendation that the feature name should not be shown on maps because it was difficult to locate and Chief Victorio had no direct association to the specific feature. The spelling variation of Victoria Peak has likely evolved over the years due to local use and map editor's interpretation. The name was recommended in 1917 by Professor Drury for Victorio, a noted chief of the Warm Springs Tribe of the Apache Indians. Victorio did not travel this far west but is closely identified with the Apache Indian Wars (US-T121). |
