About this map

Saint Phillip serves as the quiet focal point of this Eastern Montana landscape, where the high plains are broken by distinctive geological rises. Notable topographic landmarks including Red Top Butte, Jackrabbit Butte, and Podolski Butte dominate the horizon, while Horse Point offers a significant vantage over the drainage of Beaver Cr. The settlement's history is anchored by the Saint Philips Cem, located along Saint Philip Rd.

Hydrological features are central to the area's layout, with the Lamesteer Reservoir collecting waters from Lamesteer Cr. A network of rural routes, including Custer Trail Rd and Last Chance Rd, connects remote ranchlands and homesteads across the townships. This 2014 survey captures a moment in Wibaux County when traditional land use remains defined by these reliable water sources and the local road names that trace family and ranching histories.
