2020 Map of Diamond G Butte

About this map

Diamond G Butte serves as the central landmark for this section of eastern Montana, where the boundary between Prairie and Dawson counties cuts through a complex network of drainage basins. The landscape is defined by the intricate system of Bad Route Creek, including its East, Middle, and West forks. These waterways carve through the terrain, creating a pattern of coulees and ridges typical of the region's erosional geology. Historical movement through this area is traced by the established paths of W Bad Route Rd and Bad Route Rd, which follow the natural contours of the land. Further south, McQuoid Coulee and Cottonwood Creek drain the slopes near the butte, illustrating the watershed's role in shaping local land use and transportation during the early 21st century.
