Location: San Bernardino County, California
Name derived from local use. John Robinson contends it was named for Francis M. Hawes who founded the Hawes Ranch in Little Pine Flat adjacent to this peak (ca.1870). Alliteratively, Gudde thinks it was named for Rush 0. Hawes. Both were early settlers, miners and cattlemen in this area. Historians, Pauliena LaFuze, Tom Core, George Kenline and Kendall Stone prefer not to hazard a guess as to which Hawes the peak refers to.
