	Sierra Estrella Mountains in Phoenix, Arizona
		Although the Estrellas are the largest and earliest known of the mountains in the Phoenix Metropolitan area, I found that reference materials on that range were few and far between.

		To the Indians, the mountains were simply known as Komatke, which means broad or thick, or blue and hazy, depending on the source.

	Historical Background (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
		In April of 1903, as Omar A. Turney was surveying the area north of Phoenix, Arizona for the federal government he recorded the name "Squaw Peak" on his plat map and noted it in his field notes to identify one of the prominent summits in the Phoenix Mountains.
		In the 1960s residential construction reached the foothills of the Phoenix Mountains and it became obvious that, unless something was done to prevent it, the mountains would eventually be covered with homes.
		The Phoenix Mountains Preserve was formed to protect the beauty of the mountains and by 1980 the tops of the major mountains were protected by the preserve.
