2020 Map of Mother Butte

About this map

Mother Butte rises as the central geographic landmark in this modern survey of Garfield County, Montana. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage systems, with Deer Coulee and Gibson Coulee carving through the northern terrain toward Wildcat Cr. To the south, the map reveals a shift in the watershed where Leach Coulee and Hoff Coulee dominate the topography. Of particular interest to those studying local hydrology are the series of water bodies near the southern boundary, including Old Lake, Mud Lake, and the distinctly named Cottonwood Tree Lakes. Human presence is represented primarily by rural routes such as W Little Dry Rd, providing access to this high plains region between Antelope Cr and Horse Cr.
