A 300-foot hill easily seen from Interstate 10 west of the mostly-abandoned crossroads town of Bakersfield. When seen from the west, the narrow ridge at the top looks like an upright nipple. The name on the postcard is considered offensive. Nowadays the hill is known as Tuna's Peak after a nearby creek.
