About this map

Three Buttes stands as a prominent landmark in this segment of the Montana plains, situated where the boundary between Fergus Co and Petroleum Co cuts through the landscape. This drainage basin is defined by a network of intermittent waterways, most notably South Fork Bear Creek in the north and the winding path of Fords Creek to the south. The terrain is largely defined by the Public Land Survey System grids of t17n r24e and t16n r24e, reflecting the orderly division of the American West. Apart from Blakeslee Rd, the area is characterized by open ranch land and small reservoirs, including those near Brickyard Creek and Duck Creek, illustrating the vital importance of water management in this arid cattle-country environment.
