Description

Buttu Rendana is a low summit in Mamuju Regency, West Sulawesi Province, Indonesia, at roughly 2°48′59″S 118°54′24″E. The Cebuano Wikipedia geographic-names database — sourced from the U.S. NGA-GNS gazetteer — records an elevation of about 473 m, roughly 100 m above the surrounding terrain, with a base width of about 0.72 km. This figure is fairly consistent with a check against the open Open-Meteo digital elevation model at the same coordinate, which returns about 449 m, so an elevation in the 450–475 m range can be considered reasonable. The highest point nearby, about 1,057 m, lies roughly 6.5 km to the northeast. The nearest large town is Mamuju, the provincial capital, about 15.9 km to the north. The surrounding area is hilly and almost entirely forested, with a low population density of about 47 people/km² and a tropical climate; the average temperature is about 21 °C (warmest March ~22 °C, coolest January ~20 °C) and annual rainfall about 2,026 mm, wettest in May (~279 mm) and driest in September (~85 mm). The point is recorded in OpenStreetMap as natural=peak, sourced from NGA-GNS, and has entries in Wikidata (Q26725188) and GeoNames (7412753). The name "Buttu" means "mountain" in the local language, a naming pattern common across the mountains of western and southern Sulawesi. Note: beyond its position and classification as a mountain, Buttu Rendana has virtually no verified climbing, trail, or tourism documentation; this profile is deliberately limited to referenceable geographic facts and adds no unsourced claims.
