'The Butte" is named for a rock formation that resembles an elephant, at least to some observers who see the left side of its head, with a prominent ear, and its trunk curled by a foot.  The formation, which is actually the eroded core of an ancient volcano, is an island in the lake, just northeast of the dam.
