There are mounds in the Phoenix area. Due to the extreme repression with regard to areas of extreme elevation, anything taller than the backyard fence becomes relegated the title of mountain. Usually named with extreme alacrity. The tall hill north of Phoenix, is called North Moutain.. the one just south of downtown is call South Mountain. The big red hill east of town is called Red Mountain and the hills way east of town with all of the strange stories about ghosts of indians and chupacabras and cowboys and Lost Dutchman ... Those are called the Superstition Mountains.. oh, and those hills west of Phoenix with the big bathtub in the saddle that is used for a watering tank.. Those are called the White Tank Mountains.. Tremendous application of imagination and forethought went into naming the "mountains" in the Phoenix area..
