The nearest town is Amidon, about seven miles to the northwest. The summit is located within the boundaries of the Little Missouri National Grassland and is about 35 miles (56 km) south of Theodore Roosevelt National Park. It is on private property, owned by the Dennis family who live nearby. At the parking area, one mile due north of the trailhead, the family maintains a small mailbox-like receptacle for donations to help maintain the area, and requests a $5 contribution from visitors. From the trailhead, the trail itself is a 4-mile round trip.[3]

The Killdeer Mountains,[4] 75 miles (121 km) to the north, rise roughly 1,000 feet (300 m) from their foothills, but are 225 feet (69 m) shorter than White Butte.
