About this map

Rattlesnake Butte rises above the Yellowstone County landscape, anchoring a region defined by high plains drainage and rural road networks north of the Yellowstone River. The terrain is deeply etched by a series of waterways, including Twelve Mile Cr, Crooked Cr, and Sevenmile Cr, which flow through the open country. The small settlement of Cline sits at the intersection of Us-312 and several local routes, serving as a focal point for the surrounding ranching and residential land.

Local development is visible through a detailed grid of family-named roads such as Homer Davis Rd, Nellie Christine Dr, and Glenn Edward Rd. The presence of the Rattlesnake Reservoir and the Hoskin Basin underscores the importance of water management in this part of Montana. This survey provides a clear view of the transportation corridors, including Us-87, as they transition from the outskirts of larger population centers into the more sparse, higher elevations of the northern plains.
