2011 Map of Red Buttes

About this map

Red Buttes stands as a prominent landmark in this segment of Rosebud County, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of seasonal drainages and essential water sources. The drainage system of North Sunday Creek and its tributary, West Fork North Sunday Creek, dominates the southern and central portions of the terrain, while Red Buttes Creek flows through the north. This area of eastern Montana relies on localized springs for water security, evidenced by the presence of Potter Spring and Rock Spring. The map documents a sparsely settled ranching landscape where historical land use is traced through named topographic features like Mackenzie Coulee and Rock Springs Creek, connected by rural corridors such as Road 208 and Road 205.
