there is -> is there, improved formatting - added quotes

Do you need the determiner "the" for a name of place?

This is something weird.

Example:

  1. I go to the city.
  2. Yesterday, I went to New York City.

You can see from the examples that when the city has a name, it doesn't use the word "the." But is it the same for:

Example:

  1. The highest peak is located in the Himalaya Mountain Range.
  2. The highest peak is located in Himalaya Mountain Range.

Does this one use the or not? The same question apply for road or other place that is not a village, town, city, and nation.
Or is there a certain rule that sometimes determiner is used, sometimes not?
