About this map

Three Buttes Creek meanders through this section of Richland County, defining a landscape marked by its intermittent drainage systems and rural infrastructure. The map reveals a network of county roads including Co RD 331 and Co RD 133 that grid the territory, providing access to the isolated ranchlands and small aviation sites like the Flying H Airport. This aerial facility serves as a focal point in the central-east portion of the quadrangle, illustrating the importance of private aviation in the remote Montana plains.

Waterways such as East Charlie Creek and Cheney Creek carve subtle paths across the township lines, where surveying marks like t24n r56e and t25n r56e establish the legal framework of the land. The presence of the North Fork Lone Tree Creek in the northeast corner further emphasizes the importance of these small tributaries to the local drainage basin in a region dominated by wide horizons and agricultural leaseholdings.
