2014 Map of Bald Butte

About this map

The Little Snowy Mountains define the southern landscape of this central Montana terrain, dominated by the prominent summit of Bald Butte. This area in Fergus County is characterized by a network of drainage systems that carve through the high ground, including the headwaters of Flatwillow Creek and its north and south forks. Significant natural passes such as Daley Gap and Durfee Gap provide passage through the upland ridges, while rural access is maintained by historical routes like Upper Flatwillow Road and the uniquely named Surenuff Road. The map reveals a land defined by water and elevation, where intermittent streams like Whoop-Up Creek and Durfee Creek flow from the slopes of the Little Snowies toward the plains. Isolated springs and the winding Tyler Cutoff further illustrate the cattle-country infrastructure common to this part of the state.
