2024 Map of Finger Buttes East

About this map

Finger Buttes rises as the primary landmark in this corner of Carter County, shaping a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and deep drainages. The area is dominated by the sprawling course of Blacktail Creek, which meanders across the township lines of t6s r60e and t6s r61e. This recent U.S. Geological Survey topographic study documents the sparse, high-plains geography where seasonal watercourses like Hay Draw and Hay Creek cut through the terrain. The map's detailed contouring reveals the complex network of draws and ridges that characterize this remote section of Montana, providing a clear view of the land's natural state before any significant modern development or industrial footprint.
