2020 Map of Fighting Butte

About this map

Fighting Butte serves as a central landmark for this section of Powder River County, overseeing a network of drainages that feed the Little Powder River. The landscape is defined by its water-cut topography, where numerous seasonal and perennial flows including Fighting Butte Cr, Antelope Cr, and Spring Cr converge. The presence of Waite Ditch in the northern reaches suggests the historical and ongoing importance of water management for local agriculture in this semi-arid environment. Ranching infrastructure is evident through the named access routes like Phillippi Rd and Graham Rd, which provide passage through the complex terrain. The map details the transition between various township and range sections, from t5s r51e to t7s r53e, illustrating the vast, organized nature of Montana's land divisions and the persistent isolation of the high plains.
