The Level Mountain Range, also known as Level Mountain, is a mountain range in Cassiar Country, northwestern British Columbia, Canada, located just northeast of Callison Ranch, southwest of Dease Lake and about 50 km (31 mi) north of Mount Edziza. It consists of a massive shield volcano and lies on the Nahlin Plateau, comprising a series of buttes and ridges. The range is lightly glaciated, as compared to the Coast Mountains just to the west. The only named mountain in the Level Mountain Range is Meszah Peak on the north side of the range with an elevation of 2,190 m (7,185 ft), making it the highest point of the Level Mountain Range. Immediately to the west, however, are the Heart Peaks, a related volcanic range just east of the Sheslay River, which is the edge of the Nahlin Plateau.
The Level Mountain Range rises above adjacent forested lowlands and undulating alpine areas surround the steeper central peaks. Streams that originate from these peaks drain across the Nahlin Plateau.

“The variables of quantification, ‘something,’ ‘nothing,’ ‘everything,’ range over our whole ontology, whatever it may be; and we are convicted of a particular ontological presupposition if, and only if, the alleged presuppositum has to be reckoned among the entities over which our variables range in order to render one of our affirmations true.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
