Mt Morrison

A little history of the area:
In the fall of 1871, a posse trapped a group of escaped convicts from Carson City, Nevada, at the lake, then know as Monte Diablo. A shootout ensued and two locals, Robert Morrison and Mono Jim, were killed. Most of the inmates were eventually caught and put to frontier justice. The large peaks above the lake were renamed after the fallen posse members and the lake itself became know as Convict.
