About this map

Morris Butte stands as a prominent landmark in this segment of eastern Montana, where the high plains are carved by a network of drainage systems. The landscape is defined by its watercourses, notably Johny Cr, Cottonwood Cr, and Sandstone Cr, which shape the local topography around elevations like Grassy Butte and Cedar Butte.

Evidence of the region's rural infrastructure and energy history is visible through named corridors such as Shell Oil Rd and School House Rd. The map also traces movement across the terrain via the Johny Creek Trl and Rolling Hills Trl, reflecting a landscape managed for both cattle ranching and resource extraction. The northern boundary is marked by Cannonball Cr, illustrating the complex watershed of Fallon County near the turn of the 21st century.
