2017 Map of Headlight Butte

About this map

Headlight Butte rises as the central landmark in this expanse of Glacier County, Montana, where a network of rural roads defines the movement of local ranching and power infrastructure. The landscape is marked by the presence of family and settlement-named thoroughfares such as Winkler School Rd and Zenith Rd, which anchor the area's social geography. To the south, industrial and residential legacies are suggested by Montana Power Camp Rd and Carter Camp Rd, pointing to the region's connection to regional energy development. This 2017 survey illustrates a high-plains topography where traditional property lines, defined by township and range boundaries like t36n r6w, intersect with modern service roads. Local history researchers can trace the connectivity between remote outposts via named routes like Proefrock Rd and Tipville Rd in a region where the vastness is measured by the distance between these distinct intersections.
