Powell Mountain is a 9,524-foot summit in Mineral County, Nevada, and one of the named high points in this mountainous desert region. Its name comes from A. Powell, a businessperson connected with the local mining industry. That naming ties the mountain to the mining history that strongly influenced Mineral County and helped shape many place names across Nevada.
