That's a good question...some specific names escape me now, but there are "mountains" elsewhere in the U.S...once agian, I forget the names, but the highest eleveations in missisippi for example are often detailed as a small mountain range and part of Appalccia, however only reaching no higher than a bit under 900 ft., classified as such that are significantly lower than Charles Mounds height of 1,235 ft. above sea leve. I do wonder if there are finer points to consider, but then again, there is no single uniform definition of mountain. I've heard some figuires of 1,000 ft, some at 2,000, for being the minimum.

Is Charles mound a mountain or hill?

A certainly hazier answer than one may at first think. There are registered "mountains" in Mississipi (I forget the names...) that are less than 900 ft...and Charles MOund is at 1,235 feet, with many other hills in the general Driftless area of similar height. I would think some categorizations of "mounains" and "hills" must take other aspects in mind... By most definitions, Charles Mound is categorized simply as a "high hill". What is stopping it by being considered a genuine mountain by most? Not sure.
