Scottsbluff National Monument is a small butte, with a small surrounding grassland, in Gering, Nebraska; next door to the town of Scottsbluff. The monument is one of many buttes in a broad valley. The valley eroded away leaving the buttes standing. The North Platte River runs through the valley and next to the monument.
