2020 Map of Chalk Butte

About this map

Chalk Butte stands as a prominent landmark in this segment of Garfield County, overlooking a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainage systems. The hydrography of the region is characterized by seasonal watercourses and coulees, including the winding Billy Coulee and the headwaters of Seven Blackfoot Cr. The map illustrates the sparsely populated ranching country of eastern Montana, where human presence is primarily marked by a handful of established routes such as E Snow Creek Rd and W Snow Creek Rd. These roads provide the vital links across the township and range lines of t21n r34e and t21n r35e, connecting remote homesteads and grazing lands. The convergence of Snow Cr and S Fork Snow Cr further highlights the complex erosion patterns that have shaped this high plains environment.
