dataran tinggi
Explanation:
Mesa is a Spanish word meaning "table" (and related to the Indonesian word "meja," which I think is derived from Portuguese).

The word is used in the Southwestern United States to describe a certain geographical feature, a mountain with a flat top. In this sense, it is similar to the English words "butte" and "plateau," although a plateau is usually much larger than either a "butte" or a "mesa."

Explanation:
It seems like a mouthfull. But there is unfortunately no exact translation for 'mesa'. There is one entry in KBBI for Mesa but it is equal to the Aries zodiac.
