2014 Map of Twin Buttes School

About this map

Twin Buttes School stands as a lonely landmark near the Prairie Co / Custer Co line in this sparsely settled region of eastern Montana. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainages, where Hay Cr and Finley Cr carve through the terrain. To the south, the headwaters of N Fork Bachelor Cr and S Fork Bachelor Cr converge toward the Hamlick Reservoir, a rare point of water collection in this arid ranching country. Transportation is dominated by the long stretch of Deadman Rd, which runs north-to-south along the western edge of the quadrangle. The map reveals the classic township and range system typical of the American West, with sections like t13n r46e and t12n r46e illustrating how land was surveyed and partitioned for homesteading and grazing.
