Lost Brother Butte is a dormant [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratovolcano stratovolcano] located in west central [[Barlow County]]. Though geologically unrelated to the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Sisters_(Oregon) Three Sisters], the mountain's name reflects the belief of early white settlers that the peak was a distant part of the Three Sisters chain. At present, geological evidence suggests Lost Brother has more in common with the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newberry_Volcano Newberry Volcano] south of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bend,_Oregon Bend, Oregon].

	Standing at 7,929 ft (2,417 m), Lost Brother Butte is the tallest point in the county. Though its origins are in debate, evidence indicates the mountain is part of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascade_Volcanoes Cascade Volcanic Arc]. Its latest active phase was 7,000 years ago. At present, there is minimal tectonic or magmatic activity within the mountain, though several [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fumarole fumaroles] on the northeast side vent steam and gas at intervals. The existence of these fumaroles and ~~several~~ area hot springs at indicate the volcano has the potential to become active again.

	The most recent eruption was andesitic, but the eruptive events which formed the volcano between 600,000-580,000 years ago were [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basalt basaltic]. An [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effusive_eruption effusive eruption] dated at 500,000 years ago created a long, eastward-trending ridge system on top of the existing basalt plateau formed during the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbia_River_Basalt_Group Columbia River Flood Basalts] event 17-14 million years earlier. The [[Palmer River]] subsequently eroded a valley through the ridge, dividing it into north and south spurs of the mountain. The town of [[Samuelton]] lies at the easternmost extent of the Palmer River Valley. The small villages of [[Crestview]] and [[Munro]] flank the western head of the valley.
