gǎng

(bound form) hillock; mound

sentry post; policeman's beat; (bound form) job; post

mountain (山) + ridge sound (冈) = hillock or sentry post

山 grounds the meaning in elevated terrain — a hillock or ridge used as a lookout point. 冈 mainly contributes the sound gǎng; the mountain radical carries the sense of a raised, watchable position.
