Located in the lower, U.S. portion of the Monashee Range, Mount Bonaparte is a lone monadnock rising 7,257’ in elevation. The area surrounding Mount Bonaparte is commonly known as the Okanogan Highland (spelled Okanagan Highland in Canada).

The northern end of the range is at the southern end of the Robson Valley just south of the town of Valemount. The southern extremity of the range is in Washington State, bordered on the Columbia River from it’s intersection with the Kettle River Range just down to the confluence of the Okanogan River and Columbia River at Pateros, Washington.
