2017 Map of Jiggs Flat

About this map

Round Butte rises as the central landmark of this High Plains landscape, situated along the county line between Chouteau and Judith Basin Counties. The terrain is defined by a series of drainage systems, including Willow Creek and Cowboy Creek, which cut through the open country. To the west, the Libby Hills and Ole Coulee provide topographic relief, while the southern portion of the map levels out into the expanse of Jiggs Flat. This 2017 survey reveals a sparsely populated ranching or agricultural region where movement is dictated by a few rural routes like County Road 201 and Spencer Road. The intricate network of seasonal waterways, such as Cottonwood Creek and Fall Creek, illustrates the essential relationship between water and land use in this part of Montana.
