2014 Map of Discovery Butte

About this map

The Marias River carves a deep, winding path through the western edge of this Chouteau County landscape, creating a stark contrast with the vast agricultural plateaus to the east. These higher elevations are defined by a network of drainage systems, including Black Coulee and O'Halon Coulee, which cut through the terrain toward the river basin. Landmarks such as Black Butte and Discovery Butte provide clear navigational points for researchers tracing the physical geography of North Central Montana.
