Mollie's Nipple or Molly's Nipple is the name given to as many as seven peaks, at least one butte, at least one well, and some other geological features in Utah.〔〔〔 Some sources claim there are eleven geological features in Utah that bear this name.〔 At least some of those names are attributed to John Kitchen – a pioneer of an early exploration of Utah, who named them to commemorate a nipple of his wife (or his bride according to some sources) Molly.〔 ==Utah Mollie's Nipples peaks listed by US Geological Survey== Note: the U.S. Board on Geographic Names discourages the use of the apostrophe in place names.〔Robert L. Coard, "The Possessive Apostrophe in Names", ''American Speech'' 33(3):176-179, October, 1958.〕 This has not prevented some individuals and organizations from re-inserting apostrophes dropped from possessive place names on their own. *USGS peak (Mollies Nipple ) (5226 ft, Milford Flat quad, in Beaver county, National Elevation Dataset )〔 *USGS peak (Mollies Nipple ) (6237 ft, Spanish Fork quad, in Utah county, National Elevation Dataset )〔 *USGS peak (Mollies Nipple ) (7264 ft, Deer Range Point quad, in Kane county, National Elevation Dataset )〔 *USGS peak (Mollies Nipple ) (7769 ft, Two Tom Hill quad, in Utah county, National Elevation Dataset )〔 *USGS peak (Mollys Nipple ) (5328 ft, Antelope Island South quad, in Davis county, NAD27 )〔 *USGS peak (Mollies Nipple ) (4593 ft, Hurricane, Washington county, National Elevation Dataset )〔 *USGS peak (Mollys Nipple ) (4865 ft, Ouray SE, Uintah county, National Elevation Dataset )〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mollie's Nipple」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
