Furnace Mountain is the tallest peak of Catoctin Mountain in Loudoun County, Virginia. It rises steeply from the southern banks of the Potomac River across from Point of Rocks, Maryland. Its name arises from the iron furnaces located at its base that were used to process iron mined from the immediate area, much of which would be used to build the burgeoning Washington D.C.
