Fairmont Butte, Volcanic butte in Antelope Valley, Los Angeles County, US
Fairmont Butte stands 3,130 feet above sea level with steep cliffs rising 430 feet from the surrounding Antelope Valley landscape.
The Los Angeles City administration established a quarry at Fairmont Butte in the early 1900s to extract tuff deposits for cement production.
The butte forms part of the Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve, where spring wildflower displays attract nature enthusiasts.
Visitors can observe the geological formation from multiple vantage points along the trails within the California Poppy Reserve boundaries.
The volcanic tuff deposits found at Fairmont Butte matched the composition of German Trass and Italian Pozzolana, making it valuable for cement manufacturing.
