Mount Nevin, on the Yukon/British Columbia border, was adopted in 1909 and confirmed in 1980. Nevin Wallace surveyed the mountain in 1908. It is the highest summit crossed during the two seasons of Wallace’s survey. He made more ascents of the mountain than any other member of the party.((Yukon Government, Place Names database.)) 
James Wallace was a member of the Alberta Land Surveyors’ Association in 1911, and that year was put in charge of the Levelling Office of the Topographical Survey of Canada. He remained in this position until his work was transferred to Ottawa in 1925. He retired in 1932.((“James Wallace.“  //Wikipedia,// 2019 website: http://albertalandsurveyhistory.ca/index.php?title=James_Nevin_Wallace))
