1987 Map of Barber Butte

About this map

Bearpaw Mountains dominate the southern landscape of this Blaine County region, rising sharply above the drainage basins of the north. The terrain is defined by the prominent Tiger Ridge and the distinct peak of Barber Butte, which serves as a central landmark for the area. The local hydrology is characterized by numerous seasonal and perennial flows, including Clear Creek, Wind Creek, and Bean Creek, which carve deep paths through the high plains. Human presence in this Montana landscape is marked by the infrastructure of ranching and industry, with several Corrals scattered throughout the valleys and a high-altitude Pipeline traversing the northern ridges. A Landing Strip situated near Wind Creek suggests the necessity of aerial access in this isolated territory during the late 1980s.
