2014 Map of Butler Table

About this map

Butler Table dominates this high-plains landscape where the boundary between Richland Co and Dawson Co runs through the northern reaches of the quadrangle. The terrain is defined by the headwaters and drainage networks of several prairie streams, including N Fork Burns Cr, Middle Fork Burns Cr, and McCone Cr. This 2014 survey documents a sparsely populated rural landscape where section lines are traced by local thoroughfares such as Road 512 and Road 537. The topography is punctuated by McCone Heights in the northeast, showing the transition from level plateaus to the eroded drainage basins of the Burns Cr system. The map provides a clear record of the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) grid and the infrastructure connecting this section of eastern Montana.
