MVP #18: Antelope Hill, AZ

Well, this MVP was a bit trickier than most, thanks to the fact that most scoria/cinder cones look pretty similar and some initial confusion about the photo in the first place. Anyway, lets review!

The photo:

It was identified by the sender as Missouri Bill Hill in Arizona. However, this doesn’t seem to be the case.

From Google Earth, Missouri Bill Hill:

After close examination by me and all of you, it seems that the consensus is that it is, in fact, Antelope Hill in Arizona – both near each other in the same volcanic field.

From Google Earth, Antelope Hill:

This leaves me confident that Antelope Hill is the cinder/scoria cone in the photo. Congratulations to Doug C. for getting this right even before we dissected the image.
