Mount Eva is located seven miles (11 km) northeast of Seward in the Kenai Mountains, on land managed by Chugach National Forest.

[3] Precipitation runoff and glacial meltwater from the mountain drains to Resurrection Bay five miles (8.0 km) to the southwest.

Although modest in elevation, topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 4,500 feet (1,371 m) above Salmon Creek in 2.25 miles (3.62 km).

The mountain's toponym was officially adopted December 13, 2001, by the United States Board on Geographic Names.

[5] Weather systems coming off the Gulf of Alaska are forced upwards by the Kenai Mountains (orographic lift), causing heavy precipitation in the form of rainfall and snowfall.
