Near Kaweah Gap, the peak divides three important watersheds: the Kern River, the Kaweah River, and the Kings River. This three-way divide leads to the peak's name. At one time, it was also called The Keystone.
The Kaweah Peaks Ridge spurs off to the south, while the Kings-Kaweah Divide branches off to the west.
