Probably due to a jurisdictional mess. The article says the mountain was renamed by the US Board of Geographic Names (and possibly the Department of the Interior). Wilderness Areas seem to be managed by some combination of the National Park Service, US Forest Service, Fish and Wildlife, and Bureau of Land Management; and might require congress to get involved to rename it (Congress creates them, unclear whether they have to be involved to rename them). There's a whole mess of oddball things like this in Minnesota, which has been reverting a lot of things back to indigenous names. The weird conflicts are slowly getting sorted out. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Wilderness_Preservation_System#Managing_agencies https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Wilderness_Preservati... Edit: Yeah, I think its Congress. It required a bill to rename the Olympic Wilderness to the Daniel J. Evans Wilderness in 2016 (different "Evans"). https://www.spokesman.com/blogs/outdoors/2016/dec/07/olympic-wilderness-re-named-sen-evans/ https://www.spokesman.com/blogs/outdoors/2016/dec/07/olympic...
