1980 Map of Finger Buttes East

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Finger Buttes dominate the western landscape of this Carter County quadrangle, where the terrain transitions into the high plains of southeastern Montana. The topography is defined by the winding course of Blacktail Creek, which cuts a broad valley through the center of the sheet, and the seasonal drainage of Hay Draw to the south. This 1980 edition, based on earlier photogrammetric data, illustrates a sparsely settled ranching landscape where development is limited to a network of unimproved roads and light-duty paths. The map reveals the intricate drainage patterns leading toward Hay Creek, showing how the land was organized for grazing and water access. Significant attention is paid to the survey boundaries, including the intersections of Range 59 East and Range 60 East, providing essential data for land use and property research in this remote corner of the state.
