2020 Map of Miles Butte

About this map

Miles Butte and McCann Butte dominate this northern Montana landscape, marking the rugged high ground of the Bears Paw Mountains in southern Blaine County. The map details a drainage network defined by the winding Peoples Cr, which is fed by numerous seasonal waterways including Maggie Cr and O'Bryan Cr. This area is characterized by its high-altitude cattle ranching and open range land, where modern transportation relies on traditional routes like Barney Olson Rd and Peoples Creek Rd. Local topography is further articulated through several distinct coulees such as Little Box Elder Coulee and Kuhr Coulee, reflecting a landscape sculpted by long-term erosion. For those researching the history of the Montana plains, this survey provides a clear view of the natural landmarks and remote access roads that define this section of the state.
