2020 Map of Belltower Butte

About this map

Belltower Butte rises as a prominent landmark within the high plains of Carter County, marking a landscape where the Custer National Forest meets the open range. The drainage network is dense and varied, with Skull Cr and Catamount Cr cutting through the terrain alongside seasonal water sources like Jay Reservoir and Dewdrop Reservoir. The map reveals a remote ranching and forest environment at the edge of the Long Pines region, where travel is dictated by established routes like Tie Creek Rd and Chimney Rock Rd. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, Chimney Rock stands as another significant geological feature, while the presence of Hackberry Cr and Sand Cr indicates the complex hydrology of these eastern Montana uplands.
