2017 Map of Battle Butte

About this map

Battle Butte and the Twin Buttes anchor the southern and western reaches of this high plains landscape in Stillwater County. This survey captures a modern look at a region defined by its wide basins and seasonal watercourses, where the transition from higher ground leads into the depression of Hailstone Basin to the northeast. A grid of section-line roads, including Flat Rd and Gee Rd, facilitates movement across a terrain dotted with ephemeral lakes like Dallmann Lake and Halfbreed Lake. The prominence of the Lake Basin in the central portion of the sheet illustrates the internal drainage patterns typical of this part of Montana. Named drainages such as Struck Cr and Greenwood Cr move through the southeast, while the northern sections are bisected by the Molt Rapelje Rd, connecting this rural corridor to the broader region.
