Four Buttes is an unincorporated village in Daniels County, Montana, United States. Four Buttes is located on Secondary Highway 248, 8.5 miles (13.7 km) west of Scobey. The community is named for a group of four large buttes to its west, which are better known as the "Whiskey Buttes", as they were once a rendezvous point for whiskey smugglers.[2] The village has a grain elevator, a gas station with 24-hour pumps, a post office and a restaurant. Google Maps didn't bother to visit the village en route from Scobey to Opheim.
Four Buttes was founded in 1926 as a stop on the Great Northern Railway. Residents built a grain elevator along the railroad, allowing area farmers to export their products.[2]
