2020 Map of Square Butte

About this map

Square Butte stands as the primary settlement in this section of Chouteau County, where the plains of Central Montana meet dramatic geological formations. The landscape is defined by its topographic extremes, from the high, flat expanses of Square Butte Bench to the deeply incised drainage of Big Coulee and the striking Chalk Cliffs. The area’s hydrology is dominated by the seasonal paths of Flat Cr and Cowboy Cr, which carve through the coulees and benchlands. Transport and local access follow the section lines and terrain contours, with routes like Square Butte Bench Rd and Broadway serving the scattered ranching interests. The presence of multiple distinct peaks, including Buckskin Butte and Antelope Butte, highlights the isolated high points that characterize this region north of the Highwood Mountains.
