Timber Buttes rises as a prominent landmark in this section of Musselshell County, defining the local relief south of the seasonal drainage of Pole Cr. The landscape is characterized by its drainage patterns and a handful of remote lakes, most notably the Des Moines Lakes in the western reaches. This 2017 survey reflects the sparse, open character of central Montana, where transportation is limited to established routes like Pole Creek Rd and Golf Course Rd. The map provides a clear record of the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) grid, showing the township and range boundaries including t10n r23e and t9n r23e. It is a landscape largely defined by hydrology, with Dry Cr cutting through the northern townships, and the intricate contour lines showing the gradual elevations around the namesake buttes.
