About this map

Montague Butte stands as a central topographic anchor in this portion of Custer County, overlooking a network of drainages that define the high plains landscape. The map reveals a remote ranching and grazing environment where water sources like Archdale Cr and Locate Cr dictate the layout of local infrastructure. These seasonal and perennial waterways are flanked by notable elevations including Henry Woods Mtn and the prominent Twin Buttes in the northern reaches.

Infrastructure is sparse, primarily consisting of Us-12 which cuts across the central terrain and Whitney Cr Rd providing access to the north. The drainage patterns of N Fork Locate Cr and Long Prong Locate Cr illustrate the complex watershed system of the Montana interior. This survey captures the region's enduring character as a sparsely populated territory defined by its naming conventions for distinct buttes and winding creeks.
