Brown Ridge

Brown Ridge is a bare rock ridge three nautical miles long which runs northwards from Nelson Peak on the Washington Escarpment in the Neptune Range, part of the Pensacola Mountains. It rises to 4,500 feet.

The ridge was photographed from the air by the United States Navy in 1964 and surveyed from the ground on the United States Geological Survey Pensacola Mountains Project, 1965-66. It is named after Robert D. Brown, geologist with the United States Geological Survey field party in the Patuxent Range, summer 1962-63.
