Ross

I believe the answer is:

mesa

(Other definitions for mesa that I've seen before include "Flat tableland with steep sides" , "In the USA, a steep-sided flat-topped hill" , "Isolated flat-topped hill" , "Flat-topped hill with steep sides, common in the southwestern US" , "Flat tableland with steep edges" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
