Crowders Mountain is part of the Appalachians, which formed during the Alleghenian Orogeny. The mountains formed when the continents of the time, Euramerica and Gondwana, collided to form the supercontinent Pangaea. The sections of the continents that collided correspond to the modern continents of Africa and North America.
