Heavens Peak is a little more than 1 mile (1.6 km) north of McPartland Mountain.[3] The mountain's descriptive name first appeared on a map prepared by Lt. George P. Ahern, from 1888 to 1890 reconnaissance maps prepared by him.[4] This geographical feature's name was officially adopted in 1929 by the United States Board on Geographic Names.[2]
