2017 Map of Mud Butte

About this map

Mud Butte rises as a central landmark within this expansive Yellowstone County landscape, where the geography is defined by a network of drainage systems. The terrain is marked by the seasonal flow of Antelope Cr and its tributary, Dry Antelope Cr, alongside Mill Cr and Buffalo Cr. These waterways carve a distinct pattern across the high plains, illustrating the drainage basin's role in local ranching and land use. Human passage through this section of Montana is primarily anchored by Custer Pineview Rd, which winds across the northern and eastern portions of the map. This topographic study reveals a largely undeveloped area where legal land divisions like t6n r31e and t5n r32e organize the territory into a grid of sections, a system essential for land ownership and resource management in the western United States.
