There's a Brokenback Mountain, a Lightning Flat, a Riverton, and some of the towns have been moved or the towns in the story are a combination. The great thing about Wyoming is that it has such a diversity of places, names, climates, histories, and cultures. When you go there, it seems like endless miles of nothingness until your eyes are opened, and then it is a wonderland!!

The peak(s) in the postcard we see in Ennis's closet at the end surely represents, and iconically so, Brokeback Mountain as far as the film is concerned--and surely as far as Ennis is concerned.

That's right!  Never thought of that before.  It is the same mountain, I think, photographed from a different angle.

Seems to me I posted a pic of that somewhere here on BetterMost...  I get lost easily~!!!  DUH: it's in this thread...

Lean on me, let our hearts beat in time,
Feel strength from the hands that have held you so long.
Who cares where we go on this rugged old road
In a world that may say that we're wrong.

...Cause I know - A love that will never grow old.
