2014 Map of Landslide Butte

About this map

Landslide Butte rises above the high plains of Glacier County in this northern Montana landscape near the international border. The serpentine path of the Milk River carves through the northern half of the quadrangle, creating a complex of riparian draws and breaks against the higher plateaus. This area is characterized by vast open ranges and minimal human infrastructure, defined primarily by a grid of section lines and isolated landmarks like Eagle Point. Grounded in the early twenty-first century, the map shows a sparse transportation network consisting of secondary routes like Chalk Butte Rd and William Johnson Rd, which provide the only access through these remote grazing lands. The topography reflects a classic Big Sky country drainage pattern where seasonal coulees feed into the larger river basin.
