Johannesburg Mountain is a prominent peak located in the Pacific Ranges mountain range, known for its impressive elevation and size. Rising majestically, it stands as one of the notable peaks in this region. Although exact measurements may vary slightly depending on sources, its elevation is generally reported to be around 8,200 feet (2,500 meters) above sea level, making it a desirable destination for mountaineers seeking a challenging ascent.

These water sources contribute to the region's overall ecosystem, providing essential freshwater for wildlife and vegetation.
