The height of Mount Rushmore is 500 feet high and 400 feet wide.he granite mountain that bears the monument was named long before i â¦ ts destiny to be the backdrop for a great mountain carving was known. Mount Rushmore was named in honor of New York lawyer Charles E. Rushmore in 1885.
Borglum selected Mount Rushmore as the site for several reasons. The rock of the mountain is composed of smooth, fine-grained granite. The durable granite erodes only 1 inch (25 mm) every 10,000 years, thus was more than sturdy enough to support the sculpture and its long-term exposure.
