The Button Islands consist of two groupings of islands lying in a northeast–southwest direction. They are barren, long, and narrow. The two groups are separated by a 0.2 mi (0.32 km) navigable channel. A passage that can be entered from either ends flows through the Button Islands' midsection, measuring 0.2 mi (0.32 km) to 0.6 mi (0.97 km) wide. The mid-channel depth is approximately 3.7 m (12 ft) towards the northeast end.
