2011 Map of Red Top Butte

About this map

Saint Phillip remains the primary focal point of this Eastern Montana landscape, established in an area where the open prairie meets the distinctive topographic rises of the plains. The region is characterized by prominent landmarks including Red Top Butte and Jackrabbit Butte, which provided essential navigational points for early travelers. The local infrastructure is deeply tied to the natural watercourses, with Beaver Creek and Lamesteer Creek winding through the terrain. The creation of Lamesteer Reservoir and the Lamesteer Reservoir Dam signifies the importance of water management in this arid environment. Significant local history and genealogy can be traced through the Saint Philips Cemetery, while the network of primitive routes like Custer Trl and Last Chance Trl reflect the historical movement of settlers across Wibaux County near the state line.
