Description

Buttu Taramanu is a low hill in West Sulawesi Province, Indonesia, near the village of Taramanu in the Polewali Mandar regency area. In the Toraja-Mamasa language, 'buttu' means hill or mountain. It is recorded at about 265 metres above sea level, rising only some 15 metres above the surrounding terrain, with a hill base roughly 0.75 km wide — so it is better described as a minor forested rise than a prominent peak. The nearest higher point is Buttu Tammedingin (about 1,145 m), roughly 6 km to the west. It should be stated honestly that data on this feature is very thin: its identity, coordinates and elevation all trace to a single NGA-GNS toponym record (2009) that was later propagated into OpenStreetMap, Wikidata (Q25296758) and an auto-generated Cebuano Wikipedia stub derived from the GeoNames database. No verified trail information, field notes or summit photograph exists for this hill.
