The territory is home to the Grands-Ormes Ecological Reserve and part of the Hautes-Gorges-de-la-Rivière-Malbaie National Park. It is named after Mount Élie that in turn was named after Elijah. Nearby are other mountains and lakes named after Biblical prophets, such as Moses and Jeremiah. Mount Élie (47°55′28″N 70°21′30″W / 47.92444°N 70.35833°W) is one of the main summits of the mountainous highland in the east of the Charlevoix region. With an altitude of 1,021 meters (3,350 ft), it provides a great view of the vast surroundings and was formerly used as a location for fire watch. Its western slope forms the eastern boundary of the Hautes-Gorges-de-la-Rivière-Malbaie National Park, whereas its eastern side is part of ZEC Lac-au-Sable.[3]
