Buttes, of course! A butte is a prominent isolated hill with steep sides and a small, flat top. In fact, the word â butte â comes from a French word meaning âsmall hill.â.

Mesas, on the other hand, can have as much as four square miles of surface area. In addition to size, geographers often use another simpler way to differentiate buttes from mesas.
