2020 Map of Four Buttes

About this map

Four Buttes serves as the focal point of this northern Montana landscape, where the grain-growing plains of Daniels County are defined by a network of drainage coulees and section-line roads. The drainage systems of Audet Coulee and La Pierre Coulee carve through the higher ground in the north, while Butte Cr and Lost Child Cr dictate the terrain to the south. This modern survey reflects a land organized by family-named routes and homestead-era legacies, visible in the placement of the West Fork Cem. The infrastructure follows a rigid grid, with S Four Buttes Rd and Timmons Hill Rd providing essential transit through this agricultural region. The map captures the quiet character of the High Plains, where the distribution of roads like Levang Rd and Chabot Rd reveals the enduring pattern of rural settlement and land use.
