2014 Map of Harris Buttes

About this map

Harris Buttes and Wild Horse Mtn dominate this Custer County landscape, where the high plains are carved by a dense network of seasonal drainages. The drainage patterns of Pumpkin Cr and Anderson Cr reveal the intricate topography of southeastern Montana's ranching country. This 2014 survey documents a territory largely defined by its natural hydrology, with Harris Cr, Road Cr, and Broughton Cr branching across the township and range grid. The presence of MT-59 in the northwest corner provides the primary modern transport link through this cattle-raising region, illustrating how contemporary infrastructure skirts the most prominent terrain features like Sand Cr at the quadrangle's southern edge.
