2011 Map of Four Buttes NW

About this map

The Middle Fork Poplar River meanders through the eastern edge of this Montana landscape, defining a terrain shaped by the slow drainages of the Northern Plains. At the turn of the twenty-first century, this area of Daniels County remains a remote agricultural and ranching expanse, where water sources like Lost Child Creek and Coal Creek dictate the layout of the rural road network. The map reveals the precise positioning of long-established section-line routes, such as N 4 Buttes Rd and Halverson Rd, which provide access to the vast open ranges between Butte Creek and the northern reaches of the quadrangle. These survey lines and creek crossings offer critical spatial data for understanding the rural infrastructure of the region during this period of the early 2000s.
