Option 1

 * Squaw Peak (Provo, UT) or Kyhv Peak
 * The Wikipedia entry under "Squaw Peak" is a list of mountain peaks named "Squaw Peak," including the one in Provo. There is also an entry about the "Walker War" in the 1850s that mentions the altercation by which the Peak in Provo got its name. The peak in Provo was actually renamed Kyhv Peak in the last five years, but does not have a Wikipedia page dedicated to it. I think the name change and the history of the Peak would be a notable contribution (specifically the name change part).

Option 2

 * Payson Fort
 * The only article related to the fort is the Payson, Utah entry. It mentions the first European settlement in the Payson area, but nothing about the Fort or the Walker War. I think this could be a notable entry, but so far I haven't found any great sources. There are plenty of people in Payson with passion for the history of the area, but I feel like the history of places like the fort has been passed down orally (and then to blogs) where accuracy of the information can't be verified and memory and bias might be obscuring truth. I think to really get to some sources we would have to contact the Payson historical society (aka daughters of the Utah Pioneers and Pateetneet) and I'm not sure if the effort is worth it for a fort that's been torn down and memorialized by four small brick installments with plaques.
