2017 Map of Square Butte SE
USGS Topo · Published 2017About this map
Square Butte Bench dominates the central landscape of this Chouteau County survey, reflecting a classic High Plains topography of elevated flats and deep drainage coulees. The map documents a sparsely populated agricultural and ranching region organized by a strict grid of section roads, including Hawarden Rd and Shine Lake Rd. For local historians and genealogists, the Square Butte Bench Cem and Owen Bros Airport provide specific points of interest amidst the expansive terrain. To the south and east, the land drops away into significant natural features such as Big Coulee, Panton Coulee, and Steele Lake Coulee. The presence of these deep watercourses indicates the erosive power of seasonal runoff across the benchland, shaping the rural lifestyle of the Montana interior.
