The East Square Butte seeding covers 1,025 acres or 410 hectares of gently sloping land with a number of low ridges and small hills. Vegetation is primarily sagebrush, and the nearest reliable water source is the Donner und Blitzen River some eight kilometers to the west, or Malheur Lake, an equal distance to the north. Elevation ranges from 4200 to 4350 feet. The area was surveyed by Loring, Kilmarx, Parker and Toussaint on August 28, 1980. The only cultural material noted was a single isolated obsidian uniface.
