Missouri Buttes (5,374 feet (1,638 m)) are located in the U.S. state of Wyoming.[3] The buttes are 4 miles (6.4 km) northwest of Devils Tower and consist of 4 separate summits. Like Devils Tower, the buttes are believed to be part of a laccolith that became exposed at the surface after overlying rocks eroded away.
