Mount Barlow is located on the Continental Divide along the border of Alberta and British Columbia at the southern edge of the Freshfield Icefield in Banff National Park. It was named in 1916 by D.B. Dowling after Dr. Alfred Ernest Barlow, a cartographer with the Geological Survey of Canada who perished in the 1914 Empress of Ireland disaster.[1][2][4]
