2017 Map of Flag Butte

About this map

Two Medicine River meanders through the northern reaches of this landscape, marking the boundary between Pondera and Glacier counties. This 2017 survey reveals an intricate irrigation system managed through a network of waterways including the N Canal, M Canal, and Two M Canal, which support agricultural activity across the high plains. The terrain is defined by prominent landmarks such as Flag Butte in the west and the expansive Alkali Lake to the south. These features, along with Buffalo Ridge Rd, illustrate the intersection of natural topography and human efforts to harness water in this portion of Montana. The map provides a clear view of the Public Land Survey System grid, including T31N R6W and surrounding townships, which remains foundational to property and land management in the region.
