The wilderness area, created by the New England Wilderness Act of 2006, is named in honor of Joseph Battell (1839–1915), a philanthropist and environmentalist from Middlebury, Vermont. The wilderness consists of 12,336 acres (4,992 ha) managed by the U.S. Forest Service.There are numerous mountains in the area with altitudes of at least 3,000 ft (910 m), including (from south to north to east): the Great Cliffs (3,000 ft or 910 m), Mount Horrid (3,216 ft or 980 m), Cape Lookoff Mountain (3,320 ft or 1,010 m), Gillespie Peak (3,366 ft or 1,026 m), Romance Mountain (3,145 ft or 959 m), Worth Mountain (3,234 ft or 986 m), Monastery Mountain (3,224 ft or 983 m), and Philadelphia Peak (3,203 ft or 976 m).
