About this map

Clay Butte and Snake Butte rise above the high plains of Roosevelt County, providing distinct landmarks in this corner of Montana. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of Sand Creek and E Shotgun Cr, which carve subtle coulees through the townships. The grid of the Public Land Survey System remains the primary framework for local travel, with a network of rural roads such as Rd 1004 and Hwy 405 N following section lines across the prairie. This area reflects the modern ranching and agricultural layout of the region, where infrastructure is sparse and largely confined to long-distance connecting routes like Rd 2045. Small stock ponds and intermittent watercourses emphasize the importance of water management in this semi-arid environment.
