The formation is predominantly Precambrian granite with outcroppings of quartz and schorl.[3] The slopes of the mountain incorporate suburban residential development while the upper summit areas are conservation sites.[4] As the only part of the Phoenix Mountains not held within the Phoenix Mountain Preserve, portions of Mummy Mountain are protected by the Mummy Mountain Preserve Trust and the town of Paradise Valley.[5] NameThe formation originally was known as Windy Gulch and Horseshoe Mountain but was later renamed by miner and businessman Charles Mieg, who purchased most of the property in the 1940s for $12,000. He observed that the mountain's profile resembled an Egyptian mummy lying down. When he began selling parcels for development, Mieg marketed the land using the name Mummy Mountain.[5] ConservationThe Mummy Mountain Preserve Trust is a 501 (c)(3) charitable trust established in 1997 to preserve the natural landscape of approximately {{convert|320|acre|km2}} along the mountain ridge. Local celebrities including Marshall Trimble, Joe Garagiola, Clive Cussler and Bil Keane supported a campaign asking property owners for donations of land. Through private donations and transfer of public land from Maricopa County, {{convert|218|acre|km2}} were controlled by the trust by August 1999.[6] References1. ^1 {{cite pb |id=58208 |name=Mummy Mountain, Arizona |accessdate=2016-08-18}} {{Mountains of Arizona}}{{Arizona-geo-stub}}2. ^{{cite gnis |id=8438 |name=Mummy Mountain |accessdate=2014-02-07}} 3. ^{{cite book |first=Sharon |last=Panczner |title=Gems and Minerals of Arizona |publisher=Primer Publishers |year=1988 |isbn= 978-1558380974}} 4. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.ci.paradise-valley.az.us/docs/MMPT%20Parcel_032907.pdf |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20071012003152/http://www.ci.paradise-valley.az.us/docs/MMPT%20Parcel_032907.pdf |archivedate=2007-10-12 |title=Parcel Map |publisher=Mummy Mountain Preserve Trust, Town of Paradise Valley |year=2009 |accessdate=2014-02-07}} 5. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.ci.paradise-valley.az.us/87/Mummy-Mountain-Preserve-Trust |title=Mummy Mountain Preserve Trust |publisher=Town of Paradise Valley, AZ |accessdate=2014-02-07}} 6. ^"The Mummy Mountain Preserve Trust", Town Reporter, Town of Paradise Valley, Vol. 30 Issue 1, August 1999 6 : Mountains of Arizona|Geography of Phoenix, Arizona|Landforms of Maricopa County, Arizona|Protected areas of Maricopa County, Arizona|Nature reserves in Arizona|Mountains of Maricopa County, Arizona |
