Negrohead Mountain is a “slur”? Sounds like somebody has been doing too many drugs and has too much time on their hands. I live in the White Mountains. I wonder if that makes me a racist.
“Is ‘negrohead’ a slur?”
Many of the “offensive” names on maps were revised around the 1970’s or so.
Have seen changes such as S*** Creek becoming Nasty Creek. One, in Arizona, is marked Negro Creek, but older maps show it as *i*g*r Creek!
One mountain range, inside the Air Force Gunnery Range in Arizona, now know as the Outhouse Mountains, IIRC, was know at the S*** House Mountains.
From a distance it looked like a giant outhouse! lol
