Named by Charles Bruce Sissons [1879–1965] in 1923 after Morrison Parsons Bridgland [1878–1948], a Dominion Land Surveyor who named many peaks in Jasper National Park of Canada and the Canadian Rockies. A founding member of the Alpine Club of Canada, Bridgland was chief mountaineer in early Club camps. In the Club’s list of members in 1907, his residence is listed as Calgary and his affiliation the Topographical Survey of the Canadian Rocky Mountains, where he was assistant to Arthur Oliver Wheeler [1860–1945].
