2017 Map of Harris Buttes

About this map

Harris Buttes and Wild Horse Mtn dominate this Custer County landscape, providing distinct topographical landmarks in a region defined by its complex drainage network. The area is dissected by numerous seasonal watercourses, including Pumpkin Cr and Anderson Cr, which carve through the high plains terrain. This 2017 survey illustrates the traditional township and range divisions of Eastern Montana, specifically spanning portions of T3N R49E and T2N R50E. The absence of concentrated settlements highlights the open, rural character of the territory, where the physical geography of Harris Cr and Road Cr dictates the local land use and boundary patterns. Researchers can trace the precise contours of the hills and the winding paths of Broughton Cr as they relate to historical grazing and land allotments in this part of the state.
