Three Buttes stands as a prominent landmark in this segment of central Montana, where the boundary between Fergus Co and Petroleum Co bisects the prairie landscape. The area is defined by a network of seasonal watercourses and drainage systems, including the S Fork Bear Cr to the north and Fords Creek—also labeled as Fords Cr—to the south. Local transit is dictated by a grid of named rural routes such as Welter Divide Rd, Delany Rd, and Blakeslee Rd, which provide access to this ranching and agricultural region. The inclusion of Brickyard Cr and Duck Cr highlights the intricate local hydrography that has long influenced land use and settlement patterns along the county line.
