About this map

Snake Butte and Twin Buttes anchor the skyline of this high plains landscape along the border of Custer and Powder River counties. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems, including Spring Cr and Meadow Cr, which carve through the land beneath the prominent Chimney Butte. These topographical landmarks served as critical navigational points for early inhabitants and ranchers moving through this corner of Montana.

Transportation in this area is centered on the Powderville Rd, which winds through the central and western sections of the map, providing a throughway for rural connectivity. Secondary routes such as Road 352 and Road 552 extend across the southern reaches near Butte Cr and Corral Cr. The map illustrates the sparsely populated, open-range character of the region, where named landmarks and water sources like Little Corral Cr and Foster Cr define local geography.
