Black Lava Butte / Flat Top Mesa : Sand to Snow Natl Monument ( ACEC = Area of Critical Environmental Concern ) Black Lava Butte and Flat Top Mesa in the northeast foothills of the San Bernardino Mountains are home to both mountain and desert species. Varied soil types and topography allow plant communities ranging from cactus fields on the volcanic slopes to pinyon-juniper woodland to creosote plains. Over millennium, wind and weather have cut through the vast lava fields exposing granite bedrock below and leaving lava capped buttes high above. Many cultural sites cover the area including an extensive array of petroglyphs. Springs dot the canyon landscapes surrounding the buttes among granite boulder piles.
• Size  – about 6,350 acres
• Location: North of Joshua Tree NP. Map: BLM Desert Access Guide Big Bear Lake.
• The volcanic buttes that frame the skyline near Pioneertown are the last remnants of a vast lava field that covered the area 3 million years ago.
