2017 Map of Biscuit Butte

About this map

Biscuit Butte and Haystack Butte anchor this high-plains landscape in Garfield County, where the terrain is defined by dramatic buttes and deep coulees. The map illustrates a network of essential water sources in an arid environment, including Mc Krone Reservoir, Mc Krone Spring, and Lindbergh Spring. These features, along with Biscuit Butte Spring, represent the vital water infrastructure necessary for ranching and settlement in this part of Montana. The drainage patterns of Hell Cr and Frazier Cr carve through the section lines, while a limited road network consisting of Snow Creek Rd, Brusett Rd, and Baker Rd connects the remote homesteads and grazing lands. Further south, Castle Butte and Piney Buttes mark the skyline, showing the transition between various coulees like Camel Coulee and Sage Hen Coulee.
