The McGerrigle Mountains are a mountain range in the central part of Gaspésie in eastern Quebec, Canada. It is the main constituent of the Chic-Choc Mountains belonging to the Notre Dame Mountains, a subrange of the Appalachian chain.
Formerly called Tabletop, in 1965 the massif was renamed McGerrigle Mountains in honor of the geologist Harold William McGerrigle (1904–1970) who worked for the government of Quebec between 1937 and 1970.[1][2]
