About Coffin Buttes
The Coffin Buttes are a small but rugged mountain range located in western North Dakota, near the Montana border. This isolated range rises abruptly from the surrounding plains, with a series of steep, rocky buttes and ridges. The terrain is characterized by exposed sandstone and shale formations, deep ravines, and sparse vegetation. The highest point in the range reaches just over 3,000 feet in elevation, offering panoramic views of the surrounding grasslands and badlands.
