Mount Field is a confirmed suburb/locality.[2]
It is believed that the locality was named for Mount Field National Park, which was named for Judge Barron Field, who visited Tasmania as an itinerant judge in 1819 and 1821.[3]
The locality is almost wholly contained within Mount Field National Park.[4]
The C609 route (Lake Dobson Road) enters from the east and runs generally west to Lake Dobson, where it terminates.[2][5]
