2017 Map of Flat Top Butte SW

About this map

Tenmile Cr and its various tributaries define the drainage patterns across this section of the eastern Montana plains during the late twenty-first century. The landscape is marked by the irregular boundary between Prairie Co and Custer Co, highlighting the administrative divisions within this sparsely populated ranching region. While largely open terrain, the area is connected by Little Whitney Creek Rd in the northeastern corner, providing access to the higher ground near the county line. The map detail shows several small seasonal watercourses, including Flat Cr, Coal Cr, and Sheep Cr, which carve subtle paths through the township and range grid system of T10N and T9N. This 2017 survey reflects the enduring character of the Big Sky country, where geography is primarily defined by water access and section lines.
