2014 Map of Diamond G Butte

About this map

Diamond G Butte serves as a prominent landmark in this section of the eastern Montana rangelands, where the high plains are deeply dissected by the intricate drainage systems of the Yellowstone River basin. The landscape is defined by the convergence of several major tributaries, including the W Fork Bad Route Cr, Middle Fork Bad Route Cr, and E Fork Bad Route Cr, which carve through the terrain to join the main channel of Bad Route Cr. The division between Prairie and Dawson counties runs directly through these drainages, marking a transition in the open territory. To the south, McQuaid Coulee and Cottonwood Cr provide further relief to the topography, illustrating the erosional patterns typical of this semi-arid region. Local infrastructure is sparse, consisting primarily of rural corridors like Cedar Rd and Bad Route Rd, which follow the natural contours of the coulees and creek beds.
