The name "Mount Carson" was (incorrectly) adopted in this location 1 August 1957 on 92I/NW. Name changed to Pavilion Mountain 27 October 1965 on 92I/13, being the well-established local name; at the same time, the name "Mount Carson" was re-positioned to a summit 1-1/2 miles to the southwest at 50º 58' - 121º 43', a subsidiary peak on the Pavilion Mountain massif.
