2024 Map of Butch Hill

About this map

The Pioneer Mountains define the high terrain of this Beaverhead County landscape, where the ridges of Butch Hill and the distinctive Inadnit Butte rise above the surrounding drainage basins. This area is characterized by an extensive network of water management features, including Wengers Ditch, Spencer Ditch, and the Main Jackson Ditch, which redirect water across the flats of Davis Bench. These irrigation systems reflect the ranching and agricultural requirements of the high-altitude Montana plains during the early twenty-first century.
