About Davis Buttes
The Davis Buttes are a small but distinctive mountain range located in northwestern North Dakota. Formed by ancient volcanic activity, the buttes rise dramatically from the surrounding plains, with steep, rugged slopes and sandstone cliffs. The landscape is characterized by a mix of grasslands, sagebrush, and scattered pine and juniper trees, providing a unique contrast to the flat, agricultural regions that surround the range. The elevation ranges from around 2,000 feet at the base to just over 3,000 feet at the highest points, creating a sense of topographic relief in an otherwise flat region.
