2017 Map of Four Buttes NW

About this map

The Middle Fork Poplar River carves a central path through this Daniels County landscape, which remains defined by a strict grid of section lines and gravel roads. In the northern reaches, Coal Cr and Butte Cr provide drainage for a terrain dominated by agricultural allotments and the vast open spaces of the high plains. The map reveals a network of named local arteries including Hagfeldt Rd, Halverson Rd, and N Four Buttes Rd, which connect the isolated homesteads and farmsteads typical of this region's rural economy. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a precise record of the road network and water distribution across townships such as t37n r46e and t36n r46e, reflecting the enduring land use patterns of northeastern Montana.
