2011 Map of Snake Butte

About this map

Snake Butte and the distinctive formations of Twin Buttes rise above the drainage systems of the Powder River basin in this early twenty-first-century survey. The landscape is defined by its intermittent watercourses, including Spring Creek, Meadow Creek, and Little Corral Creek, which carve out the high plains topography. A central human element in this section of Powder River County is Powderville Rd, which cuts diagonally across the terrain, providing a critical transit link through an area dominated by buttes and creek beds. Near the eastern edge, Chimney Butte stands as a notable landmark overlooking the convergence of local seasonal streams like W L Creek and Butte Creek. The map documents a sparsely settled ranching or grazing environment where the geography of the land remains the primary feature, illustrating the persistent character of Montana's southeastern plains.
