I took this panorama from Kenneth Hahn State Rec area a while back and went through and labeled as many peaks as I could. I'm fairly certain I've mislabeled Iron Mountain as Pine Mountain (Pine shouldn't even be visible), and I don't know what I was pointing at with the Iron Mountain label... something in the Rattlesnake Peak area?
And I'm completely at a loss in the western end of the range... I just randomly tossed Mendenhall in there.

Any help greatly appreciated

really cool photo.
I'd add bighorn peak between ontario and cucamonga. besides that it seems pretty good so far. wish i could help with the wide side but i dont know that area well either.

Use google earth to mark the camera spot and take bearings to all the named peaks to help locate the peaks relative to each other (horizontally at least)...blah blah blah etc etc etc.
Something about Brown and Lowe don't look right.

Aye, this is a job for Google Earth.
Luckily they recently reinstated peak names after losing them for about a year.

Download the Google earth visibility overlay
It could be tough to pick out some of the peaks but I've found this site to be very accurate and informative
I agree with hikeup Brown & Lowe, I'd add Yerba Buena to that
My guess is Mendenhall is way off.... I think it is a portion of Mendenhall Ridge above Yerba Buena Spring, JW & NO Mt McKinley
I think that may be a bit of Iron Mtn and a chunk of Pacifico between Strawberry and Josephine
Don't forget to label Mt Hollywood, Cahuenga, Tongva & Verdugo Peaks
Enjoy!

This is pretty simple problem if you have a newish iPhone... (I wish I did)
