- Der Mount Verstovia ist ein 1010 m hoher Berg auf Baranof Island im Alexanderarchipel im Südosten Alaskas. Der Berg erhebt sich 4 km östlich von Sitka. Der Mount Verstovia Trail, ein Wanderweg führt zum Picnic Rock, von wo aus der Gipfel über einen 1,3 km langen Pfad erreicht werden kann. Benannt wurde der Berg im Jahr 1809 von (1776–1812), einem russischen Seefahrer. Der ursprüngliche russische Name war Gora Verstovaja. (de)
- The prominent peak of Mount Verstovia is located just 2.6 miles east of the center of Sitka, Alaska, on Baranof Island, Alexander Archipelago. The 3,354-foot (1,022 m) summit rises steeply from the nearby Pacific Ocean, with its lower flanks cloaked in temperate old growth rain forests and its upper regions, above 2,400 feet, being above treeline and providing excellent vistas of Sitka and the surrounding mountain and ocean environments. This peak was first named "Gora Verstovaya" in 1809 by the navigator Ivan Vasiliev. Gora translates to mount in Russian and verst refers to a unit of measurement equaling 0.6629 miles (or 3,500 feet) which closely resembles the actual height of Mt. Verstovia. The main summit of Mount Verstovia is called Arrow Head by the people of Sitka, Alaska, because of its resemblance of an arrow head pointed up behind the sub peak. A significant sub peak of Mount Verstovia lies just 0.5 miles to the west of the main summit. This 2,550 foot "hump" was reported in 1869 by G Davidson, USC&GS, to be named Cross Mountain. After that cross was erected by the Russians the Tlingit gave it their own name of Kanéisti Shaa (Cross Mountain). It is said to have acquired that name as the Russians erected a cross there. This sub peak is now locally referred to as "Picnic Rock" although it bears no name on USGS maps. In hopes of avoiding confusion, modern USGS maps now name an entirely different peak some 8 miles to the southeast as "Cross Mountain". (en)
