About this map

Square Butte rises above a landscape defined by significant drainage systems and high ridges in this section of Phillips County. The terrain is deeply incised by Little Cottonwood Cr, Cottonwood Cr, and Rock Cr, which carve through the land toward the southern lowlands. These waterways converge near unique topographical features such as Jones Island and the broad Bell Bottoms, providing a detailed look at the hydrology of the Missouri River breaks region.

Modern access is highlighted by the CMR Auto Nature Tour Rd, which winds across the western portion of the map. The survey details the high ground of Siparyann Ridge and Bell Ridge, separated by the namesake Siparyann Cr. This map documents a largely undeveloped landscape where geographic orientation relies on distinctive landforms like Pugh Coulee, offering an essential record of this specific Montana wilderness in the early twenty-first century.
