The range runs from southwest to northeast, parallel to the main ranges of the Southern Alps. At the northeastern end, the range terminates at Jagged Peak ({{convert|2706|m|ft}}), whence a ridge connects to the Jollie Range. The lower Potts Range is a continuation at the southwestern end of the range. The highest point on the range is Mount Arrowsmith ({{convert|2781|m|ft}})[1] It is believed that the range was named in honour of John Arrowsmith, the 19th Century British cartographer.[2] PeaksNamed peaks from northwest to southeast[1]
RiversThe northwest side of the range is drained by the Lawrence River, a tributary of the Rangitata River, and the southeast side by the Ashburton River South Branch / Hakatere and the Cameron River which flows to Lake Heron. GlaciersAlthough the peaks do not have permanent ice or snow, there are a number of permanent snowfields and glaciers on the range:
