About this map

Duckhead Buttes rise above the high plains of Glacier County, defining the elevation and character of this landscape in the early 21st century. The drainage patterns of Spring Coulee, Flat Coulee, and the meandering Spring Cr illustrate the natural topography that has long dictated movement across these northwestern Montana reaches. The infrastructure here is primarily agricultural and transport-focused, with a grid of rural routes including Sather Rd, Miller Rd, and Shady Grove Rd connecting isolated homesteads and ranch lands.

The Cut Bank Municipal Airport serves as a modern anchor in the northeast, signifying the area's importance to regional aviation. To the south, Jack Lenoir Rd cuts through the more varied terrain near the buttes, reflecting the persistence of family-named landmarks in the local geography. This survey provides a precise look at the township lines and water features that continue to shape the rural economy of the region.
