mistaken landscape

I remember once reading a new draft of a poem I was quite proud of, only to be corrected after by a member of the audience, that the mountains I called Sierra Madre must have been Sierra Nevada, given other details of locale in the poem.(Gah...a head-slap here). He was right. Somehow John Huston's classic movie had insinuated its landscape into my composition, and I hadn't noticed it.
