2017 Map of McGinnis Butte

About this map

McGinnis Butte stands as a primary landmark in this section of Garfield County, marking a landscape defined by the intricate drainages of the Missouri River basin. The geography is characterized by a network of seasonal watercourses and coulees, including Peterson Coulee and Day Coulee, which carve through the high plains. Vital water sources like Peterson Spring supported the early ranching operations that shaped this part of Montana. The land is divided by the Public Land Survey System into townships like t14n r34e, while transportation is limited to established routes such as Ingamar Rd and 17235 Rd. Along the southern edge, Gumbo Ridge rises above the valley of Little McGinnis Cr, illustrating the clay-heavy soils that give the ridge its name.
