2011 Map of Mud Butte

About this map

Mud Butte stands as a central topographical landmark in this portion of Yellowstone County, overlooking a network of ephemeral watercourses and prairie roads. This early 21st-century landscape is defined by the winding paths of Antelope Creek and its tributary, Dry Antelope Creek, which drain the open range alongside Buffalo Creek and Mill Creek. The map documents the rural infrastructure of the era, centered on the transit corridors of Custer Pineview Rd and McWhorter Rd. The sparse distribution of named features reflects the expansive, undeveloped character of the Montana plains, where water sources and prominent high points like the butte served as the primary orienting markers for local residents and travelers.
