This mountain is called “Mammoth Mt.” on J. Norman Collie’s 1910-11 map and on the “Preliminary Map of the Canadian Rocky Mountains between Jarvis Pass and Yellowhead Pass” (Bull. Amer. Geog. Soc. Vol. XLVII, No. 7, 1915), showing the route followed by Mary L. Jobe in August 1914, with guide Donald Phillips.
Both maps shows the Holmes River as “Beaver River.”
