2017 Map of Twin Buttes School

About this map

Twin Buttes School sits near the dividing line of Prairie and Custer Counties in this rural Montana landscape. The area is defined by a dendritic network of seasonal drainages, including N Fork Bachelor Cr and S Fork Bachelor Cr, which flow through the undulating terrain. A solitary water management feature, Hamlick Reservoir, is located in the southeastern portion of the map, suggesting the importance of water storage in this arid ranching environment. The sparse road network is anchored by Deadman Rd and Rd 102, which provide the primary access to the scattered homesteads and the local schoolhouse. Other notable waterways like Crow Rock Cr and Grimes Cr further illustrate the complex topography of the region, where land use is dictated by the availability of water and the accessibility of these remote drainages.
