Description

Buttu Talise is a low forested hill in West Sulawesi (Sulawesi Barat) Province, Indonesia, at roughly 3°19′S 119°15′E, about 15.4 km to the northwest of the town of Polewali (Polewali Mandar). In local Sulawesi languages (Mandar/Toraja), the word "buttu" means hill or mountain. Several distinct points in Sulawesi bear the name "Buttu Talise"; this entry refers specifically to the point with Wikidata Q26730122 / GeoNames 7589249 / OpenStreetMap node 1070155225 — matched by coordinates to avoid confusion with same-named places. GeoNames and its derived Cebuano Wikipedia article list an elevation of about 174 m (roughly 96 m above the surrounding terrain), with a base width of about 1.8 km, while the open Open-Meteo digital elevation model at the same point returns about 148 m; both are estimates with no surveyed value, so the exact height is unvalidated. OpenStreetMap and GeoNames both classify it as a hill (dsg=HLL). The surrounding terrain is varied; the nearest prominent higher point is Buttu Alipan at about 1,367 m, roughly 8.4 km to the east. The surroundings are almost entirely forested, relatively sparsely populated (about 67 people per km²), and tropical in climate. The point is recorded in OpenStreetMap as natural=peak from the NGA-GNS gazetteer and has a Wikidata entry. Beyond its position, approximate elevation, and forest cover, Buttu Talise has virtually no verified climbing, trail, or dedicated-photo documentation; this profile is deliberately limited to referenceable geographic facts.
