2011 Map of East Butte

About this map

East Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this northern Montana landscape, anchoring a drainage network of seasonal and perennial streams. The terrain is defined by the branching systems of Wayne Creek and Forgey Creek, which flow across the open expanse of Blaine County. Infrastructure on the land is represented by small-scale water management projects, including Spider One Dam in the northeast and Fogey Number 1 Dam further south. These features, along with the various forks like South Fork Wayne Creek and West Forgey Creek, illustrate the critical importance of water resources in this ranching and grazing region. The map reveals the layout of a rural interior, characterized by a grid of local roads and the natural contours of the land during the early 21st century.
