Mae West Peaks

Nature
Mae West Peaks are two closely associated summits in Arizona's Little Dragoon Mountains, northwest of Texas Canyon and west-southwest of the ghost town of Johnson. Although sometimes shown as a single mountain, the name properly refers to both peaks together. They were named for a shape people thought resembled actress Mae West's figure. The higher summit, once called Lime Peak, has a reported elevation of 6,655 feet. Another separate Lime Peak also stands in the Little Dragoon Mountains to the northeast, which distinguishes it from the former name of the taller Mae West summit.
