yes, mountain ranges are verifiable, but their borders are also fuzzy, and regardless how many sources you look at, you won’t be able to draw a border with centimeter precision (OpenStreetMap’s precision given by the coordinate precision). I.e. mapping mountain ranges as areas is inappropriate and unsuitable.
