2017 Map of Corral Butte

About this map

Corral Butte stands as a prominent landmark in this segment of the eastern Montana landscape, where the high plains of Prairie and Custer counties meet. This 2017 survey reveals a complex drainage system defined by seasonal waterways such as Mack Cr, Miles Cr, and Williams Cr that etch into the local topography. Further south, the terrain rises toward Big Peak, overlooking a network of named coulees and creeks including Corral Cr and Schlosser Cr. The map illustrates the expansive ranching country character of the region, where land use is dictated by the availability of water and the undulating relief of the badlands. Sections of the Custer and Prairie county line are clearly delineated, providing a modern record of administrative boundaries and physical geography in this sparsely settled portion of the state.
