Description

Dungusan Tehew is a forested hill in Southeast Minahasa Regency, North Sulawesi, Indonesia, near Tombatu at roughly 0.989° N, 124.633° E. In the Minahasan language "dungusan" is a common word for hill or mound — a prefix shared by many nearby peaks (Dungusan Lomangi, Soputan, Munte, and others); the meaning of "Tehew" itself could not be verified and is not asserted here. The feature is documented only through automated geographic databases: an NGA-GNS toponym propagated into OpenStreetMap (node 1070155141), GeoNames (6964755), Wikidata (Q25274321), a single bot-generated Cebuano Wikipedia stub, and a DEM-based PeakVisor page. Its elevation is about 823 m — an estimate from a digital elevation model rather than a field survey; another DEM estimate gives ~827 m with a prominence of about 44 m, and neither Wikidata nor OSM records a surveyed figure. No park/BKSDA, news, blog, or climbing coverage could be found for this hill.
