2011 Map of Barber Butte

About this map

Barber Butte rises above a high plains landscape in Blaine County, defined by the winding drainages of the northern Montana prairie. This 2011 survey captures the hydrological network where Wind Creek and Grindstone Creek converge before joining the larger path of Clear Creek. The transportation footprint is sparse, centered on the Clear Creek Rd corridor and the essential Clear Creek Bridge crossing. The map reveals a ranching landscape where seasonal waterways like Bean Creek carve through the terrain, reflecting the modern management of these traditional grazing lands. It provides a clear view of the topographic isolation and the vital role of bridge infrastructure in this remote part of the state.
