Mount Custer (8,888 feet (2,709 m)) is a mountain in the Livingston Range, Glacier National Park in the U.S. state of Montana.[3] Situated along the Continental Divide, Mount Custer rises more than 3,300 feet (1,000 m) above Lake Nooney, located below the summit to the east. Herbst Glacier is immediately northeast of the peak. The mountain is probably named for George Armstrong Custer, of Custer's Last Stand.[4]
