2024 Map of Barber Butte

About this map

The high ridges and drainage basins of the northern Montana plains define this landscape in Blaine County. Dominated by the northern reaches of the Bears Paw Mountains, the terrain rises toward peaks like Barber Butte. This area serves as a significant watershed, where the headwaters of Grindstone Creek, Wind Creek, and Bean Creek carve through the high country. The map illustrates a sparse network of mountain roads including Clear Creek Rd and the privately maintained Hofeldt Tiger Ridge Rd Pvt, which navigate the complex elevations of Tiger Ridge. This geography reflects a classic Western ranching and grazing environment, where movement is dictated by the deep coulees and seasonal watercourses descending from the primary summits.
