  Mount Jordan, a 4,067 m (13,343 ft) mountain peak in Tulare County, California, located on the crest of the Kings-Kern divide of the west slope of the Sierra Nevadas at 36.41°N 118.27°W was named in 1926 in honor of Jordan by the United States Geographic Board at the behest of the Sierra Club. Jordan commented that this was not the first mountain named in his honor since the first such mountain did not retain his name when it was found it already had a name.
