Pic(k) of the Week: Stone Mountain lake?

at Stone Mountain, Georgia. 26 March 2017.

**************
Similar to a butte, a monadnock is a mountain that rises from an area of relatively flat and/or lower terrain. The term is derived from two Native American Abenaki language terms: menonadenak (smooth mountain) or menadena (isolated mountain). Outside the U.S., the term most often used is inselberg.

• In 1915, Stone Mountain was the site of the founding of the second Ku Klux Klan. In 1958, the state of Georgia purchased the property and converted it into a park (now privately run). The largest bas-relief sculpture in the world, the Confederate Memorial Carving, is carved into a face of Stone Mountain. It depicts three Confederate leaders of the Civil War: President Jefferson Davis, General Robert E. Lee, and General Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson (and their favorite horses, "Blackjack," "Traveller," and "Little Sorrel," respectively).
