*** About Buttes: Buttes, like the one prominently featured in this depiction of Arizona’s landscape, are isolated hills with steep sides and flat tops. The result of extensive erosion, they stand out in stark relief against the generally flat terrain that surrounds them. They are not just magnificent natural sculptures but also tell stories of the earth’s past—often being remnants of larger formations that have withered away over millennia. The enduring nature of buttes makes them significant geological features that are commonly found in arid to semi-arid regions around the world, playing crucial roles in local ecology and often becoming focal points in the landscapes they dominate.
