2014 Map of Square Butte

About this map

Square Butte stands as a prominent landmark in this section of Chouteau County, where the landscape is defined by the sharp verticality of the Chalk Cliffs and the broad expanses of the Square Butte Bench. The settlement at Square Butte is the central hub of a rural network connected by MT-80 and local routes like Lonetree Stage Rd. The topography is etched by drainage systems including Panton Coulee, Flat Cr, and Cowboy Cr, reflecting a region where water management is critical for agriculture and ranching, as evidenced by the Panton Coulee Reservoir. Further south, Buckskin Butte and Antelope Butte rise from the plains near Big Coulee, illustrating the transition from flat benchlands to the dramatic formations that characterize this part of Montana.
