White Butte is the highest natural point in the U.S. state of North Dakota. At an elevation of 3,506 ft (1,069 m), it is a prominent butte in Slope County, in the Badlands of the southwestern part of the state. It is located 3 miles east of US 85 and about 6.5 miles south of Amidon. The nearest town is Amidon, about seven miles to the northwest. The summit is located within the boundaries of the Little Missouri National Grassland and is about south of Theodore Roosevelt National Park. It is on private property, owned by the Dennis family who live nearby. At the trailhead, the family maintains a small mailbox-like receptacle for donations to help maintain the area, and requests a $5 contribution from visitors.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Highpointers e-news of September 23, 2010 )〕 The Killdeer Mountains, to the north, rise from their foothills, but are shorter than White Butte. ==See also== *Outline of North Dakota *Index of North Dakota-related articles *List of U.S. states by elevation 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「White Butte」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
