2024 Map of Miles Butte

About this map

Miles Butte and the northern reaches of the Bears Paw Mountains define this high-relief landscape in Blaine County. This modern survey illustrates a rugged drainage network where Peoples Creek and Maggie Creek carve through the foothills, alongside prominent landmarks like McCann Butte and Iron Butte. The land remains largely rural, characterized by scattered watercourses such as Little Box Elder Coulee and Kuhr Coulee that mark the terrain between the peaks. Local access is primarily via established thoroughfares like Peoples Creek Rd and Barney Olson Rd, which trace the contours of the drainage basins. For the researcher, the map preserves the exact placement of these namesake landmarks and the hydrology that has shaped the ranching and natural history of north-central Montana.
