10,230 feet (3,120 m) is a mountain peak in the Absaroka Range of Yellowstone National Park.

[2] Stevenson, who had run away from home as a young boy, first met Hayden in 1853 during an exploration of the Dakota Badlands.

Hayden specifically cited Stevenson's loyalty to him in his 1872 report on the 1871 survey of the park.

My principal assistant, Mr. James Stevenson, labored with his usual efficiency and fidelity throughout the entire trip.

In honor of his great services not only during the past season, but for over twelve years of unremitting toil as my assistant, oftentimes without pecuniary reward, and with little of the scientific recognition that uaually comes to the original explorer, I have desired that one of the principal islands of the lake and one of the noble peaks reflected in its clear waters should bear his name forever.
