About this map

Castle Butte stands as the central landmark in this portion of Fergus County, overlooking a landscape defined by deeply cut drainages and high-altitude ridges. The hydrological network is dominated by Cottonwood Creek and its many tributaries, including Casino Creek and Mill Creek, which flow through the dissected terrain of townships T13N and T14N. These watercourses have carved significant landforms such as Hay Canyon and Lyon Canyon in the southern reaches of the map.

Rural access is provided by a network of local roads that often follow these natural contours or property boundaries, such as Sandhill Rd and Flowers Hill Rd. The map illustrates a contemporary pattern of land use where isolated residences and ranching infrastructure are connected by named tracks like Natal Rd and Snow Goose Rd, reflecting the enduring agricultural character of this Montana high country.
