2020 Map of Emma Butte

About this map

Emma Butte stands as a prominent topographic landmark in this section of Garfield County, rising above a landscape defined by seasonal drainages and high ridges. The area is marked by the winding paths of Sand Creek in the north and the extensive reach of Indian Creek, which meanders through the central and southern portions of the quadrangle. This 2020 survey documents a ranching and transition landscape where human infrastructure is sparse, primarily confined to light-duty routes like Gregg Rd and Ingomar Rd. To the east, Piney Ridge provides a distinct linear boundary, while the southwestern corner is drained by McGinnis Creek. The map reflects the enduring rural character of eastern Montana, capturing the township and range boundaries of t14n r35e and surrounding sections that have shaped land use for generations.
