2017 Map of Scoffin Butte

About this map

Scoffin Butte stands as a prominent landmark on the high plains of the Rocky Mountain Front, marking the transition between the rolling prairie and the rising foothills. This 2017 survey details a landscape defined by its intricate drainage systems, where Birch Cr, Sheep Cr, and Scoffin Cr carve through the terrain. The presence of the B Canal and Tedson Reservoir indicates a long-standing reliance on water management for ranching and agriculture in this portion of Montana. The map traces the county line between Pondera and Teton counties, following the established grid of the Public Land Survey System. Movement through this expanse is dictated by a network of ranch roads and trails, including Heart Butte Rd and the Tedson Trl, which provide access to the remote coulees and creek bottoms.
