Those which, from a distance, look like flies

The redundancies of Rillito River, Table Mesa, and the La Brea Tar Pits have delightedly appalled me for some time -- and while I still believed in the apocryphal Camino de Calle Road, I feasted on the supposed ignorance of local housing developers. So how, I ask, how did I go for lo these many years without hearing of Torpenhow Hill? It can only be the iniquity of the universe.

Further goodies in Wikipedia's list of tautological place names. Read 'em and weep -- or howl.
