It is composed of columnar basalt that formed within a prehistoric volcano six million years ago. It is part of the geological formation known as the Chilcotin Group, which lies in between the Pacific Ranges of the Coast Mountains and the mid-Fraser River. BCWireless Ltd uses Lone Butte as one of its main access point for Broadband Internet distribution.

Its appearance is like a butte-like hillrock, similar to the more famous Devils Tower in Wyoming.[1] The ranching and recreational community of Lone Butte is located on the mountain's north side. There are two communication towers located at the butte; BCWireless on its level summit and Navigata on its eastern flank. See also
