List "AZ Name Game" By AndyMartin
Notes: Notes: This is a list of the highest peaks for the 10 most popular generic names of high spots in Arizona. From listsofjohn.com data we have the approximate counts: 808 "Mountain", 532 "Peak", 350 "Mesa", 339 "Butte", 321 "Hill", 249 "Ridge", 131 "Point", 130 "Rock", 101 "Hills" and 96 "Knoll". Next, and missing the cut, comes 62 features named "Mount".
These results can be double checked here:

https://peakbagger.com/Search.aspx
GNIS was not double checked.
Uncertainties include:
Telephone Mesa - PB location https://peakbagger.com/peak.aspx?pid=-60524
is south of the LOJ location at x8251. Note that LiDAR
places the southern location at the middle and
largest 8400+40 contour.
Hill - LOJ "Cow Hill" https://listsofjohn.com/peak/71087 is not
an official name, so is skipped.
Ridge - LOJ and PB differ on the Oracle Ridge location
https://listsofjohn.com/peak/71566
https://peakbagger.com/peak.aspx?pid=29371
We contacted GNIS on this, and believe Oracle Ridge does
include the PB location.
LOJ Blue Jay Peak https://listsofjohn.com/peak/71215
has an alternate name Blue Jay Ridge.
Rock - Eagle Rock https://listsofjohn.com/peak/71121 interpolates 5' higher than
Paint Rock https://listsofjohn.com/peak/71122
Eagle Rock is 12' higher by LiDAR.
