Description

Moncong Samu is a summit in Bantaeng Regency, South Sulawesi, Indonesia, on the south-eastern flank of the Lompobattang mountain complex. In the Makassar/Konjo language "moncong" means peak or mountain — a very common naming prefix for South Sulawesi summits (compare Moncong Lompobattang, Moncong Tallasa); the meaning of "Samu" itself could not be verified and is not asserted here. The feature is documented only through the NGA-GNS geographic database and its derivatives: GeoNames (ID 6734121, class T.MT), Wikidata (Q25197758), a single bot-generated Cebuano Wikipedia stub, and OpenStreetMap node 1070155339 (tagged MT). Its elevation is about 1,600 m — an estimate from digital elevation models (SRTM/DEM: Cebuano lists ~1,597 m, Open-Meteo ~1,604 m at the point) rather than a field survey; Wikidata, OSM, and GeoNames list no surveyed figure. No hiking trail, tourism coverage, news record, or climbing account could be found for this specific peak (searches surface only neighbouring summits such as Lompobattang), and no photograph of the peak itself is available.
