A brief history of the Sutter buttes
Did you know that we have an extinct volcano in our local area? 1.6 million years ago, in the pleistocene era, the Sutter buttes were one of the largest volcanoes in this area next to Mount Shasta. they are part of what used to be a long series of volcanic events that created the coastal mountains. Just have a good look at the picture. Clearly this is a volcano. Not nearly as large as its sister Mount Shasta, but at one time equally deadly.
If you were to come into California on a boat 1.6 million years ago, you would find a coastal mountain range that was on fire. The Pacific and northern plate had long been sliding past each other, opening holes in the crust. The resulting eruptions created this land. And those geological forces certainly never went away. The San Andreas fault is still quite active although it has moved across the land finally shutting down this once active volcano.
I have actually been to the top of the Sutter buttes. I went online and found that there is a road that leads to the top of the hill. It has a locked gate so you can’t drive up it and it is clearly marked with private property signs. But I was young and stupid and I walked up this hill with my friends to the very top. By the way, this is a really stupid move and I would never recommend anybody try the same thing. But what I saw up there amazed me. From the top of the buttes, you can see all the way across this incredible valley from all directions. You can see the majestic Sierra Nevada mountains rising in the east and can even make out the entire coastal range that runs straight down California. To the north you can see Mount Shasta, and to the South, the lowlands of the delta.
The top of this ancient volcano is filled with radio towers. They extend high into the sky and you will often see pictures of their incredible views on the news. I literally stood at the base of these camera. But I was breaking a lot of laws. There are motion sensors around all the buildings and cameras everywhere. Again, this was a stupid move.
On the east side of the Sierra buttes is a large extensive canyon that goes down for hundreds and hundreds of feet. From what I could tell, it was filled with all kinds of geological forces which created caves and crevices and pinnacles and rock formations that were Beyond description. This side of the volcano was a treacherous place. It is a place where you could easily get lost, break an ankle or lose your life. In the summer, it is also certainly filled with rattlesnakes. Likely timber Rattlers. The most dangerous of all. It had an incredibly wild and heartless feel. Raw nature untouched by man. It descended before me all the way down into the valley. It’s one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen.
The Sutter buttes are named after John Sutter who received an extensive land grant early in California’s history. He owned this entire valley from Sacramento and all the way around the buttes.
In those days, thousands of Native Americans occupied this land. They frequently visited the Sutter buttes to hunt but because of the fact that this area frequently flooded in the winter time, they only came here seasonally. During the rainy season, the entire valley around the Sutter buttes would fill with water, oftentimes only leaving islands of land for months at a time. Early cattlemen lost thousands of cattle because of these floods. Their animals would often become stranded on these islands and have to be rescued if at all possible. Oftentimes they starved to death before the waters would recede.
The Sutter buttes also contain a number of natural resources, the most notable is natural gas. In 1927, the Sutter buttes oil company drilled a well 2900 below the surface of the volcano. But it wasn’t until 1932 that the first successful gas Wells were discovered.
Up until 1920 they were known as the Marysville buttes and then in 2003, Parks and recreation purchased 1700 acres around the Sutter buttes with the intent of creating a gigantic Park. But with recent cuts in their funding they gave up on this endeavor. In part because there was little public Access into the area. Further, there were land use issues because a lot of the land was also owned by private ranchers. Some of these ranchers have tried to supplement their income by giving guided tours. But few people want to take a two-day hike on a horse which is really the only way to get up in there. And that will only take you to the base of the buttes. So for now much of this land remains inaccessible except to a few.
So now you know the history of our long extinct volcano. The geological history of California has always intrigued me and learning about this piece of history only increases the fascination I have for Placer County. I hope the same is true for you. Next time you’re driving up highway 65, enjoy the Grand view of what early Spanish explorers called Los tres Pecos. The three peaks.

Advantages to on-demand water heating include: Tankless water heaters are compact in size, taking up less space than conventional tank type water heaters. They can virtually eliminate standby losses – energy wasted when hot water cools down in long pipe runs or while it’s sitting in the storage tank.
How Does A Tankless Water Heater Work?
Tankless water heaters heat water directly without the use of a storage tank. When a hot water tap is turned on, cold water travels through a pipe into the unit. Either a gas burner or an electric element heats the water. As a result, tankless water heaters deliver a constant supply of hot water.
Is it worth getting a tankless water heater?
With the most advanced technology in water heating, our tankless water heaters can save you up to 50 percent on water heating costs. Select models are assembled with our very own patented self-modulating technology so they regulate exactly how much energy is needed to heat the amount of hot water needed. Not only do our top of the line tankless water heaters save you money, they are also compact and wall-mounted so you save valuable storage space for a new closet! To top it off our models are the only electric tankless water heaters with a lifetime warranty on the market. Why Tankless?
The ECO 27 is one of the largest electric tankless water heaters available with our patented self modulating technology. This unit is ideal for the northern United States, where incoming water temperatures can reach as low as 37°F. The ECO 27 is capable of heating nearly 3 gallons per minute at this low temperature. It can handle up to two showers running at the same time and never run out of hot water. For homes in the southern United States, the ECO 27 is perfect for a high demand of hot water between multiple applications. It can handle up to 6 gallons per minute, which means you can run four showers and a sink simultaneously and never run out of hot water. A digital temperature control allows you to set your temperature in increments of 1 degree, so you can set the temperature anywhere from 80°F – 140°F.
