According to several sources (see below), the worlds smallest mountain range occurs in California's Great Central Valley, near Yuba City. Sutter Buttes has several summits ranging from West Butte's 1670 feet to South butte's 2060 ft. These elevations are from the United States Geological Survey (USGS).
The definition of mountain does not include an elevation range so it is subjective to say whether a feature is a tall hill or a small mountain. Therefore it is also subjective to say which mountain summit is the smallest until you are actually talking about a large hill. The USGS website states that a criteria of 1000 feet dividing hill from mountain was abandoned in the 1070s.
Since a search engine query of smallest mountain offers several listings for Sutter Buttes, it is safe to say that would be your best answer. Elevations at Sutter Buttes are as follows:
South Butte - 2060
North butte - 1827
Twin Peaks - 1768
West Butte - 1670
This leaves West Butte as seemingly North America's smallest mountain in a mountain range.
Interestingly, the world's single smallest mountain, again according to several sources, is Mount Wycheproof in Wycheproof, Australia, at only 141 feet high. The way to get a more correct answer is for the person with the question to define mountain.
