False White Mountain is near Mount Conness, Tioga Peak, Mount Dana, and Lembert Dome, thus is in the Tuolumne Meadows area.[4]
Of importance, False White Mountain has been often confused with White Mountain, thus the "false" reference.[2]
There have been proposals, to re-name False White Mountain, as Peak 12,002, Sharsmith Peak, False White, and False White Mountain Peak.[5]
