It forms the southeastern end of the [[Olia Chain]] of mountains. This outcrop includes '''Butler's Dome''' ({{lang-pjt|Utanta}}; 1102&nbsp;[[metre]]s [[above sea level]]). The [[granite]] escarpment called '''Foster's Cliff''' is nearby to the east.<ref>{{cite web|title=Foster Cliff Granite|url=http://dbforms.ga.gov.au/pls/www/geodx.strat_units.def?strno=33651&stratname=Foster%20Cliff%20Granite|work=Stratigraphic Units Database|publisher=Australian Government|accessdate=15 April 2013|author=Geoscience Australia}}</ref> Mantarur is located about {{convert|80|km}} southwest of [[Kata Tjuṯa]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Mantarur|url=http://www.bushtel.nt.gov.au/northern_territory/region3/shire_id13/community_display?comm_num=98|work=Bushtel|publisher=Northern Territory Government|accessdate=15 April 2013}}</ref> It is on [[Pitjantjatjara]] land, part of the [[Petermann Aboriginal Land Trust]].
