Bear Butte, located in South Dakota, is a volcanic formation that last erupted approximately 4.7 million years ago during the Miocene epoch. It is classified as a laccolith, which is a type of igneous intrusion rather than a typical volcano that erupts lava. The area is now known for its cultural and spiritual significance to various Native American tribes.
A butte is a hill with steep sides and a small flat top, but in some regions of the U.S. the meaning has been broadened and is used for any hill. An example would be the Mitten Buttes of Monument valley in Arizona. They're in the background of a lot of old western films, so are easily recognizable as the stereotypical buttes.
Black Butte Volcano, located in central Oregon, is considered extinct. There is no evidence of recent volcanic activity, and it has not erupted in thousands of years. The last known eruption occurred approximately 10,000 years ago, and current geological assessments indicate that it is not expected to erupt again.
A butte is actually smaller than a mesa. A butte is a smaller flat topped hill, while a mesa is a medium flat topped hill. Buttes and mesas are most often seen in the southwestern region of the US.
Butte Valley National Grassland was created in 1991.
