It overlooks Ferguson Bay of Lake Temagami with an elevation of {{nowrap|{{Convert|415|m|ft|abbr=on}}}} above sea level, making it one of the highest mountains in the area. Mount Ferguson is situated near the boundary of geographic townships Cynthia and Aston.[1] The mountain is named after Peter A. Ferguson, a gold prospector from the town of Mattawa who staked mining claims on Mount Ferguson in the 1880s. He is also the namesake for Ferguson Bay, Ferguson Island and Ferguson Point.[2] A fire lookout tower set up by the Department of Lands and Forests (now the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry) had formerly occupied the summit of Mount Ferguson.[1] In 1966, the tower was no longer used which led to its eventual demolition around 1975.[2] Like the other highest peaks of this area, Mount Ferguson is underlain by Nipissing diabase.[1] This forms a 2.2 billion year old magmatic province with an east-west extent of almost {{nowrap|{{Convert|450|km|mi|abbr=on}}}} and a north-south extent of up to {{nowrap|{{Convert|350|km|mi|abbr=on}}}}.[3] See also
