2020 Map of W L Butte

About this map

W L Butte stands as the central topographic landmark in this drainage-heavy portion of Carter County. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of seasonal watercourses and erosion features, including W L Draw, Plum Thicket Draw, and York Draw. These draws feed into a series of named creeks such as Stump Cr and Keith Cr that suggest a terrain shaped by intermittent runoff. While modern roads like Chalk Buttes Rd and Ridge Rd provide access to this remote corner of Montana, the land remains largely defined by its natural hydrology and the public land survey system divisions. The map reveals the extensive creek systems of Timber Cr, Adams Cr, and Middle Cr, illustrating the complex watershed patterns typical of the region's high plains.
