2014 Map of Button Butte

About this map

Button Butte serves as the namesake landmark for this segment of Phillips County, presiding over a landscape defined by dramatic coulees and wide prairie valleys. The terrain transitions from the low-lying Rudolph Valley in the west to the significant waters of the Nelson Reservoir in the east. This 2014 survey documents the vital water systems of the region, including the winding course of Big Warm Cr and Beaver Creek, which shape the local drainage patterns. Grounded in the rural character of northern Montana, the map traces the network of local transport such as Regina Rd and Rudolph Valley Rd, providing a detailed look at the land management and hydrography as it existed in the early 21st century.
