2020 Map of Finger Buttes West
USGS Topo · Published 2020About this map
The prominent ridge of Finger Buttes dominates this corner of Carter County, Montana, providing a natural focal point for the surrounding high plains. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of seasonal drainage systems, including Hawksnest Cr, Prairie Dog Cr, and the diverging branches of N Butte Cr and S Butte Cr. Human presence in this section of the state is sparse, represented primarily by specialized routes like Tauck Rd and the Finger Buttes Trl, which follow the natural contours of the terrain. The map illustrates the classic western survey grid through township boundaries such as t6s r59e and t6s r60e, showing how ranching and land management in this era adapted to the local hydrology of Hay Cr and Blacktail Cr.
