2024 Map of Studhorse Butte

About this map

Studhorse Butte and Rattlesnake Butte rise as prominent landmarks in this section of Chouteau County, where the high plains meet a network of seasonal drainages and coulees. The landscape is defined by the carved paths of Godfrey Creek and Big Sandy Creek to the north, while the southern reaches are marked by the long depressions of Alkali Coulee and Lonetree Coulee. This modern survey reveals a spare, agricultural environment where the road network, including Warrick Rd and Judith Landing Rd, still follows the contours of the terrain rather than a rigid grid. The map provides a clear view of the complex topography and hydrology that continues to shape land use and travel in this remote part of Montana.
