matters I guess but it is still <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Squaw</st1:PlaceName>
<st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Peak</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> according to the
USGS GNIS database as well. So that might explain why mapping software still
labels it as such?<br>
<br>
I believe it might have to do with the fact that it was never officially
renamed (on a federal level). The renaming was a local thing done in <st1:State
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Arizona</st1:place></st1:State> but not fully
supported or signed off on the federal level. After the local naming was
allowed by the Arizona Board of Geographic and Historic names, the federal
Board on Geographic names was not in agreement.. <br>
<br>
Ah heck, here is the June 2007 report on Name submissions that covers all
this...<br>
<br>
Officially it is <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Squaw</st1:PlaceName>
<st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Peak</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>. So Garmin will name
it as such ..<br>

Case Summary: The new name <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Swilling</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType
w:st="on">Peak</st1:PlaceType> is proposed as a replacement name for <st1:PlaceName
w:st="on">Squaw</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Peak</st1:PlaceType>,
a</span></i> <i><span style='font-style:italic'><br>
prominent summit within the City of <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Phoenix</st1:place></st1:City>.
With an elevation of 795 m (2,608 ft), the summit is the<br>
second highest point in the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Phoenix</st1:PlaceName>
<st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Mountains</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> and it has been
designated a Phoenix Point of Pride. The<br>
current name has appeared on Federal maps since at least at least the 1950's,
but is considered by many to be <br>
derogatory. There have been several previous efforts to change the summit's
name, but none were successful.<br>
In April 2003, the <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Arizona</st1:place></st1:State>
Board on Geographic and Historic Names considered and approved a request by<br>
the Governor of Arizona to rename it to Piestewa Peak, in honor of Pfc. Lori
Piestewa, a resident of Arizona <br>
and a member of the Hopi Nation, who had died one month earlier during the
conflict in Iraq. In researching<br>
this proposal, the AZBGHN determined that the change to <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName
w:st="on">Piestewa</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Peak</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>
had the support of the Inter-Tribal<br>
Council of <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Arizona</st1:place></st1:State>.
However, the BGN was not permitted to consider the request at the Federal
level, citing <br>
the restrictions of the Commemorative Naming Policy that does not allow a
commemorative name for a<br>
natural feature until the intended honoree has been deceased at least five
years. The proposal is being held<br>
until March 2008, the five-year anniversary of Ms. Piestewa's death. <br>
<br>
Although the AZBGHN's renaming of <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Squaw</st1:PlaceName>
<st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Peak</st1:PlaceType> to <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName
w:st="on">Piestewa</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Peak</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>
has the support of many area residents<br>
and the new name is now shown on many local and State maps and products, there
are a large number of<br>
other residents of Phoenix who do not endorse it, either because they do not
believe the longstanding name <br>
Squaw Peak is derogatory, or because they object to the way in which the 2003
proposal was handled by the<br>
State.<br>
<br>
Citing these objections, this new proposal, to rename the summit to <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Swilling</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType
w:st="on">Peak</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>, was submitted by a local</span></i>
<i><span style='font-style:italic'><br>
historian. An online account of Swilling's life, authored by the proponent,
provides the following: "Born in<br>
North Carolina, he moved to the New Mexico and Arizona Territories around the
1850's, pursuing<br>
prospecting and mining for newly discovered gold. By 1860, with the onset of
the Civil War, he joined the <br>
<st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Arizona</st1:place></st1:State>
Guards. Rather than report for disciplinary action, he and several others
deserted from the CSA. He<br>
arrived in <st1:City w:st="on">Phoenix</st1:City> from <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City
w:st="on">Prescott</st1:City>, <st1:State w:st="on">Arizona</st1:State></st1:place>,
with friend and colleague Darrell Duppa in 1867. In his travels as<br>
a rider and scout for the <st1:place w:st="on">Union</st1:place>, he had been
fascinated with the ancient Hohokam ruins and artifacts, <br>
especially the extensive network of canals the ancient Indians had dug to
irrigate their fields. His concept was<br>
that the old canals could be re-built for modern farmers, and that the soil of
the valley could support highly<br>
productive farms. Within a very short time, the Swilling and Duppa team had
water flowing in a canal. By <br>
January 1, 1868, Swilling's home area, where up to fifty more pioneer homes had
been built by this time, was<br>
known as Pumpkinville - so named for the impressive growth of pumpkins Jack had
earlier planted along the<br>
canals. Darrell Duppa suggested the name <st1:City w:st="on">Phoenix</st1:City>--for
much like the mythical <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Phoenix</st1:place></st1:City>
rising from its ashes, <br>
a new civilization would soon rise from the ashes of an old. Swilling died in
jail of natural causes while<br>
awaiting trial for a stagecoach robbery he did not commit."<br>
<br>
There are two other geographic features in <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Arizona</st1:place></st1:State> already named for John Swilling.
Swilling <st1:City w:st="on">Butte</st1:City> in <br>
<st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Coconino</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">County</st1:PlaceType>
was the subject of a 1932 BGN decision, while Swilling Gulch in <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Yavapai</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType
w:st="on">County</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> was a<br>
name found in local use and presumably so named because of its proximity to
Swilling's ranch. The two<br>
features are located 299 km (186 mi) and 61 km (38 mi), respectively, from the
summit in question. <br>
</span></i></span></font><br>
<br>
Basically prepare to climb <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Swilling</st1:PlaceName>
<st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Peak</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> because it looks
like that is what the name might become.<br>
