2017 Map of Rocky Buttes

About this map

Rocky Buttes dominate the central landscape of this Glacier County quadrangle, a terrain defined by the high plains of northern Montana. The map documents a sparse network of gravel and unimproved roads, including Chalk Butte Rd and Landslide Butte Rd, which serve the expansive agricultural sections of t36n r8w and t36n r7w. The hydrology of the area is centered on the drainage patterns of Little Rock Coulee and the South Fork Little Rock Coulee, which carve subtle paths through the prairie. This 2017 survey provides a precise look at the modern rural layout, showing how early 20th-century land divisions still dictate the path of local routes like Brown Rd across the high northern plains.
