About this map

Sayer Butte rises above a landscape defined by dramatic breaks and watercourses in Blaine County. This northern Montana terrain is deeply etched by a series of drainages, including Threemile Coulee and Bailey Coulee, which channel runoff toward Three Mile Cr and Bean Cr. The presence of the Bowes Oil Field in the northeastern portion of the map indicates the region's industrial connection to petroleum extraction, a significant driver of the local economy alongside traditional ranching.

Elevated features such as Tiger Ridge provide prominent landmarks across the plains, while the Grasshopper Reservoir and its namesake Grasshopper Coulee serve as vital water management points in this semi-arid environment. The road network, including Redekop Rd and Staff Rd, traces the section lines of the Public Land Survey System, illustrating the orderly grid that governs this part of the American West.
