About this map

Piney Buttes rise above the drainage networks of Garfield County, defining the high ground in this sparsely populated stretch of the northern Missouri Plateau. The landscape is characterized by a dense system of coulees and intermittent streams, where White Horse Creek and Little Wolf Creek carve through the sedimentary layers of the plains. These watercourses, alongside others like Frazier Creek and Oliver Coulee, reveal the complex erosion patterns typical of the region's topography. Human presence is light and primarily represented by Haxby Rd, which skirts the eastern edge of the quadrangle. The map highlights the foundational Public Land Survey System grid, which organizes the vast open spaces into townships and ranges, underscoring the enduring agricultural and ranching framework of the Montana backcountry.
