Arrowsmith Range
The Arrowsmith Range is a mountain range in the South Island of New Zealand.
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, 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
It is believed that the range was named in honour of John Arrowsmith, the 19th Century British cartographer.Peaks
