Description

Buttu Sulukkang is a low summit in West Sulawesi Province, Indonesia, at roughly 3°15′21″S 119°05′02″E. The Cebuano Wikipedia geographic-names database — sourced from the U.S. NGA-GNS gazetteer — records an elevation of about 301 m, roughly 110 m above the surrounding terrain, with a base width of about 0.33 km. For comparison, a check against the open Open-Meteo digital elevation model at the same coordinate returns about 227 m; this is a moderate discrepancy, likely reflecting imprecision in the gazetteer point location, so the exact elevation is treated as an estimate in the 225–300 m range. The terrain is hilly to the northeast and relatively flat to the southwest. The highest point in the wider area is Buttu Tamedingin (about 1,296 m), roughly 14 km to the west. The area is relatively densely populated for hill country (about 222 people/km²), with the surroundings dominated by fields and gardens and a tropical climate; the average temperature is about 24 °C (warmest October ~26 °C, coolest May ~23 °C) and annual rainfall about 2,174 mm, wettest in April (~339 mm) and driest in September (~59 mm). The point is recorded in OpenStreetMap as natural=peak, sourced from NGA-GNS, and has entries in Wikidata (Q25296621) and GeoNames (7087585). 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 Sulukkang has virtually no verified climbing, trail, or tourism documentation; this profile is deliberately limited to referenceable geographic facts and adds no unsourced claims.
