2014 Map of Horse Butte

About this map

Horse Butte dominates the central-western portion of this Stillwater County landscape, serving as a prominent landmark for the surrounding drainage systems. The area is defined by a network of seasonal and perennial waterways, including the upper reaches of N Fork Cottonwood Cr and S Fork Cottonwood Cr, which carve through the terrain alongside Tilden Cr and Swamp Cr. A remote road network reflects modern residential development and land use, with labels such as Paradise Bluff Rd, Crazy Mountain Vista Rd, and Wild Turkey Ridge Rd suggesting the character of these rural subdivisions. Near the eastern edge, Shearing Pen Spring provides a specific point of interest for those tracing the history of local ranching and water rights in this part of Montana.
