2020 Map of Black Butte

About this map

Whitehall sits at the southern edge of this Jefferson County landscape, serving as a hub where the Whitetail Valley meets the foothills of the Deerlodge National Forest. This modern survey reveals a complex irrigation and water management system essential to the high mountain valley, featuring the Pipestone Ditch, Whitetail Ditch, and numerous named springs like Mud Spring and Tebay Spring. The transition from the developed valley floor to the prominent rising summit of Black Butte illustrates the geographic boundary between agricultural ranch land and the protected timberlands to the north. Local history is anchored by the Old Whitehall Cem, while the inclusion of the Jefco Skypark and the rural community of Sunlight demonstrates the continued evolution of settlement patterns in this part of Montana. For those tracing land use, the map details many named roads including Paul Gulch Rd and Whitetail Rd that navigate the drainages of Whitetail Deer Cr and Conrow Cr.
