2014 Map of Finger Buttes East

About this map

Finger Buttes rises as the defining topographic feature in this corner of Carter County, shaping the surrounding drainage patterns of the high plains. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Blacktail Creek, which meanders across the eastern and central sections of the quadrangle. To the south, the terrain descends into Hay Draw and the upper reaches of Hay Creek, illustrating the complex network of seasonal watercourses that define this part of Montana. This 2014 survey documents the remote character of the region, emphasizing the vast tracts of open land delineated by the Public Land Survey System, including t5s r60e, t6s r60e, and t6s r61e. The map captures the intersection of natural erosion and administrative boundaries in an area where topographical landmarks like the buttes serve as vital points of reference.
