About this map

Heart Butte serves as the primary settlement within this high-plains landscape, situated near the boundary where Glacier and Pondera Counties meet. The area is defined by a dense network of drainages and coulees, including the winding Badger Creek and the various branches of Whitetail Creek, such as N Fork Whitetail Cr and S Fork Whitetail Cr. Cultural landmarks are concentrated around the community, most notably Saint Anne Cem and the uniquely labeled Disneyland locality.

Transportation patterns reflect a mix of local access and ranching heritage, with named routes like Spotted Eagle Rd and Sacred Spirit Rd providing access to the more dissected terrain south of the town. The northern reaches are characterized by lower-lying relief, marked by Bite Coulee and Hay Coulee, while the southern portion drops into the Mowitch Basin area. These features collectively illustrate a landscape where water and road networks are closely tied to the distinct topographic benches and coulees.
