The mountain ridge rises immediately to the west of U.S. Route 15, just south of Sycolin Creek and extends {{convert|2.5|mi|km}} south to the banks of Goose Creek. It is so named for its appearance when approaching it from the north of resembling a pig on its back. The ridge is mislabeled on older USGS topographic maps as being located to the north, between Sycolin Creek and Leesburg. References
