	Sutter Buttes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Sutter Buttes (also known as the Marysville Buttes or Histum Yani (Maidu)) is the smallest mountain range in the world.
		Sutter Buttes is located in the northern part of California Central Valley, just outside of Marysville, California.
		In 2003, the California Department of Parks and Recreation purchased a 1,785 acre (7.2 km²) tract in Peace Valley toward the north side of the Buttes with the intent of developing it for public access.

		To most of us, the Sutter Buttes are that odd little group of peaks that pop up in the middle of the Sacramento Valley near Marysville, "the smallest mountain range in the world." To Aaron Pugh, they were home.
		The Buttes were the high road that allowed the stage to avoid the flooded swamps of the Butte Sink, itself created by the uplift of the mountains.
		To the original Native American inhabitants of the Sacramento Valley region, the Buttes were a power center, a holy place that figured in many of their creation myths.

		Kings river, rising in the high southern Sieria near I~It Whitney, has built its fan rather actively, and obstructed the discharge from the part of the valley next farther south, which has thus come to be overflowed by the shallow waters of Tulare Lake, of flat, reedy, uncertain borders.
		A little north of the centre of the valley rise the Marysville Buttes, the remains of a maturely dissected volcano (2128 ft).

		By September of that year, stores were advertising in fledgling California papers in the new town named after a tribe of native Californians known as the Yuba, located on the west side of the Feather River at its conjunction with the Yuba River.
		When the residents of the rival community across the Feather River formed a city in 1850, they dropped the name Yubaville in deference to the existence of Yuba City, and instead named their town Marysville.
		Today, Yuba City's population is just over 35,000, nearly three times that of neighboring Marysville.

		Soon afterward a jagged bluff-like cloud with a sheer face appeared over the valley of the Yuba, dark-colored and roughened with numerous furrows like some huge lava-table.
		The blue Coast Range was seen stretching along the sky like a beveled wall, and the somber, craggy Marysville Buttes rose impressively out of the flooded plain like islands out of the sea.
		The steaming ground seemed fairly to throb and tingle with life; smilax, fritillaria, saxifrage, and young violets were pushing up as if already conscious of the summer glory, and innumerable green and yellow buds were peeping and smiling everywhere.
