Spencer Butte is a prominent landmark in Lane County, Oregon, United States, described in the National Geodetic Survey as "a prominent timbered butte with a bare rocky summit" on the southern edge of Eugene, with an elevation of 2,058 feet (627 m).
The butte is the tallest point visible when looking south from downtown Eugene.
The butte is called Champ-a te or Cham-o-tee by the native Kalapuya, meaning rattlesnake.
[4] Another, less popular theory holds that the butte was named after Secretary of War John C. Spencer in July 1845 by Elijah White.
