That's because you're looking at it on a gigantic scale!
The only reason you would be able to tell you were on a mountain was by being able to see down. If the mountain was a couple of miles across at the top would you be able to tell it was a mountain or would you think you were in a field?

Another huge crater was found in SA: http://www.southafrica.info/ess_info...ort-080605.htm

And this is the big one in America: http://www.barringercrater.com/science/main.htm

The point is, when it impacts, the cratering deforms the ground in a fairly typical pattern. This is what they've found.
