2014 Map of Corral Butte

About this map

Corral Butte and Big Peak dominate this landscape along the border of Prairie and Custer counties. This 2014 survey documents a high-plains terrain defined by a complex network of drainage systems, including Prairie Cr, Miles Cr, and Williams Cr. The map reveals the intricate natural topography of eastern Montana, where numerous seasonal waterways such as Corral Cr, Cottonwood Cr, and Schlosser Cr have carved the land. Aside from Frontage Rd in the southwest, the area remains largely undeveloped, showcasing the vast open spaces characteristic of the region’s ranching country. The absence of towns or dense infrastructure highlights the rural nature of this portion of the Yellowstone River watershed, providing a clear view of the land's natural contours and water courses.
