2017 Map of Tiger Butte

About this map

Tiger Butte and the surrounding high ground of Tiger Ridge dominate this section of Chouteau County, where the terrain is defined by a series of prominent elevations and creek drainages. Significant landmarks like Sawmill Butte and Pecora Ridge provide distinct navigational points within this ranching and grazing landscape. The drainage network is particularly dense here, with Eagle Cr and Dog Cr cutting through the northwestern sections, while Little Birch Cr, Connelly Cr, and Birch Cr flow toward the southeast. The solitary presence of Warrick Rd represents the primary human infrastructure, winding through the center of the townships and connecting the disparate drainages. This survey captures a moment of modern land management in a sparsely populated region of Montana, where the names of water sources and buttes remain the most critical identifiers for those working the land.
