2024 Map of Rocky Buttes

About this map

Glendale Colony serves as a focal point in this portion of Glacier County, situated among the undulating terrain marked by the Rocky Buttes. The landscape is defined by its drainage patterns, notably Little Rock Coulee and the South Fork Little Rock Coulee, which carve through the plains. The road network is sparse, consisting primarily of gravel or dirt routes such as Chalk Butte Rd, Landslide Butte Rd, and Brown Rd, reflecting a rural agricultural and ranching character. This survey illustrates the modern persistence of communal agricultural settlements in northern Montana, providing a clear record of the area's contemporary land use and topographic contours.
