About this map

Four Buttes sits at the eastern edge of this Daniels County landscape, where the high plains are carved by a network of drainage creeks and coulees. The terrain is defined by the headwaters of Butte Cr, Brush Cr, and Spring Cr, which weave through the agricultural sections of the Public Land Survey System. The presence of Killenbeck Reservoir in the northwest corner highlights the importance of water management in this northern Montana environment.

A strictly organized grid of rural roads—many bearing family names such as Ferestad Rd, Gilchrist Rd, Chicoine Rd, and Steen Rd—indicates a long-standing pattern of homesteading and land ownership. These roads provide access to the various sections of T36N R46E and T35N R46E, connecting isolated ranching or farming operations. Features like Olson Coulee and Butte Valley Rd further illustrate the topographic character of this sparsely populated region.
