	The location selected for the property handout was Mount Isherwood, partly because it had attractive satellite photos showing its rocky geography, and partly because the name was extremely close to "GISHer." On 31 July 2018, the entire area surrounding the mountain was declared a preserve dedicated to GISH and its participants. A total of 640 one-square-foot plots were ultimately deeded to natural objects, mostly to rocks and pebbles.

'''Mount Isherwood''' (74°59′S 113°43′W) is a flattish, mainly [[ice]]-covered mountain with steep rock slopes, located 4 miles (6.4 km) west-southwest of Mount Strange in the [[Kohler Range]] on the coast of [[Westarctica]].
