2011 Map of Jiggs Flat

About this map

Jiggs Flat serves as the central point of this high-plains landscape in Chouteau County, where the terrain is defined by a dendritic network of seasonal and permanent watercourses. The local topography is punctuated by prominent landmarks such as Round Butte and the Libby Hills, providing essential orientation points in an otherwise expansive grassland. The drainage patterns of Cottonwood Creek, Cowboy Creek, and Fall Creek illustrate the natural watershed of the region, while County Rd-201 provides the primary arterial access across the southern portion of the quadrangle. This 2011 survey captures the spatial relationship between these water sources and the cattle-grazing territory of North Central Montana, revealing the enduring layout of rural ranching infrastructure.
