Walter Alfred Don Munday [1890–1950] made numerous explorations in the Cariboo Range.

Most of the names on this map that are still in use were proposed previous to Munday, except perhaps “Thompson Icefield,” now Thompson Glacier.” Many of the names were superseded in the Premier Range proclimation.

Aspiration, Mount [now Mount John Oliver]

Cariboo Mountains
