I am assuming you mean the land form that is on the horizon in the background.
I am not sure. However, after noting that the picture was taken on Spirit Sol 1116 and consulting NASA Daily Update - 2/23/07 , it looks to me as if that is Home Plate, a Martian plateau feature named for it's resemblance to the home plate of a baseball diamond.
The image below shows my estimate of where this image was taken from along with its general direction of view...give or take 45 degrees. Perhaps someone else who is more knowledgeable about this image will correct me if I am wrong.
Here is a link to the original article, which contains Figure 1 which annotates some points of reference.

Thank you to everyone who has stuck by the YouTube channel and to all of our admins and forum users here on the channel. They really have kept the website current while I have been busy taking care of things in my personal life. I promised that the next video would be a long one and have a LOT to look at. You can get lost in these Gigapans and I really hope that you do! I spent a lot of time stitching these together and making sure that they were the best quality that I could get them. SOL 1448 really has been a goldmine for anomaly hunters and those people who are just hobbiest. I really hope you enjoy this one and expect much more to come from the latest batches of images!
