S. Ore. peak gets new, official name
Ashland, Oregon (AP)
A Southern Oregon peak that was known commonly, though not officially, as Squaw Peak has a new name that no longer uses the word many American Indians say is derogatory. The United States Board on Geographic Names has approved the naming of Taowhywee Point for the 3,727-foot peak just outside of Ashland on the 1,800-acre Circle of Teran Ranch, owned by Scott Young and Sulara James. |
