Poston Butte, formerly called Primrose Hill, is a hill located along Hunt Highway in Florence, Pinal County, Arizona, United States,^[3] near the eastern end of the Santan Mountains.^[4] Geologically, it is characterized by basalts overlying altered granite.^[5]

This hill is noted for having the pyramidal tomb of Charles Debrille Poston at its summit. Poston lobbied President Lincoln and Congress to create the Territory of Arizona^[6] and was appointed Superintendent of Indian Affairs because of his familiarity with the Native populations of the area.^[7] The tomb can be accessed by a 0.6-mile (0.97 km) trail starting from the trailhead near Hunt Highway.^[8]
