2011 Map of Emma Butte

About this map

Emma Butte and the surrounding terrain of Garfield County, Montana, are defined by a network of drainage systems and isolated water management structures in this 2011 survey. The landscape is carved by the winding paths of Indian Creek and Sand Creek, which dictate the local topography and the placement of early 21st-century infrastructure. Land use in this part of the state is represented by several numbered water control points, including the Montana Number 28 Dam, Severson Number 4 Dam, and Gregg Number 1 Dam. These features, alongside the prominent elevation of Piney Ridge, suggest a reliance on seasonal water management in a region where natural flow is intermittent. Access to this territory is maintained through rural routes such as Gregg Rd and Edwards Rd, which serve as the primary links through the open range.
