Location: Kern County, California

Named by the Forest Service, presumably because of the similarity of the form of this peak to a Mexican ziggurat.

Name first appears on USFS Sequoia National Forest map (1940).

Peak was added to the HPS Peak List in 1970, as follows:
MAYAN PEAK (6105) Butterbread canyon area.
Climb via Kelso Valley Rd. (2 mi., 1700' gain). One of the all-time great
scree runs - 15 minutes descent time. Exploratory led Jan. 18, 1970.
