2017 Map of Duckhead Buttes

About this map

Duckhead Buttes and the winding course of Spring Cr define this landscape in Glacier County, where the high plains meet traditional ranching and transportation corridors. The map reflects a region shaped by large-scale land management and infrastructure, anchored in the northeast by the Cut Bank International Airport. A grid of rural routes, including Sather Rd, Miller Rd, and Shady Grove Rd, provides access across the townships. One of the more notable thoroughfares is Gov Hugo Aronson Rd, named for the local homesteading figure and former Montana governor, Hugo Aronson, known as 'The Galloping Swede.' This terrain of coulees and high plateaus, such as Flat Coulee, highlights the sparse but purposeful settlement pattern typical of the Montana plains in the early 21st century.
