About this map

Rimrock Butte and Square Butte dominate the high ground of this northern Montana landscape, where the prairie is carved by a network of drainage channels. The most prominent of these is Cut Bank Creek, which meanders across the lower third of the quadrangle, joined by the Cut Bank John Coulee. This 2014 survey reveals a sparsely populated ranching or agricultural environment defined by its section lines and local transit routes.

Major gravel and local roads like Meriwether Rd and Horsethief Rd provide the primary connectivity through these expansive townships. Notable family and historical names are preserved in the road network, such as Art Perrine Rd and the Blackfoot Cutoff, reflecting the enduring path of travel through the coulees. Smaller water features like Willow Cr and Cobell Coulee highlight the seasonal hydrology that shaped the settlement of Glacier County.
