The Lava Butte shield volcano, also known as Rocky Butte, lies south of Jordan Craters, and is 0.03-0.09 million years old (Hart and Mertzman, 1983). The slightly older Clarks Butte shield lies to the north and has been dated at 0.25 million years. Another unnamed shield volcano lies to the east of Lava Butte.
