2020 Map of Three Buttes Creek East

About this map

Flying H Airport stands as the primary modern landmark within this rural expanse of Richland County, where the topography is defined by the dendritic drainage patterns of the northern Great Plains. Waterways such as E Charlie Cr and Cheney Cr carve through the landscape, alongside smaller tributaries like Timber Cr and N Fork Lone Tree Cr. The map reveals a systematic grid of county roads, including north-south routes like Co RD 331 and east-west connectors such as Co RD 132, which delineate the expansive township and range sections. This network of thoroughfares suggests a landscape dedicated to large-scale ranching or agriculture, where remote infrastructure supports a sparse population and the seasonal rhythms of the Montana prairie.
