2017 Map of Battleship Butte

About this map

Battleship Butte stands as a prominent landmark in this ranching landscape of Sweet Grass County, Montana. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including Big Timber Cr, Wheeler Cr, and Otter Cr, which flow through the foothills of the Crazy Mountains. The presence of the Anderson-Vose Ditch indicates the historical importance of water management for local agriculture in this semi-arid environment. Genealogy and local history researchers will find the Melville Cem near the junction of Melville Rd and Wheeler Creek Rd, serving as a focal point for the early settlement of the area. The road network, featuring Big Timber Canyon Rd and Grosfield Ln, traces the paths used by homesteaders to navigate the varied elevation between the creek bottoms and the higher ridges.
