About this map

Rudolph Valley and the surrounding drainage basins of Phillips County define this section of the Montana plains. The landscape is marked by a series of deep depressions and intermittent watercourses, notably Big Warm Creek and Beaver Creek, which shape the local topography. The eponymous Button Butte serves as a primary landmark in the eastern portion of the survey, situated near the head of Button Butte Coulee.

Transport through this ranching country is centered on Regina Rd, which follows the section lines and terrain contours to connect the disparate coulees. Significant geologic features like Nelson Coulee and White Rock Coulee illustrate the erosional patterns common to this part of the Missouri River watershed, providing a detailed record of the land's physical character in the early twenty-first century.
