Black Butte North is in Winifred, Montana. The field elevation is 3,150 ft MSL. No runways are listed in the facts, so verify the current surface and usable length before planning a landing. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.

The pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern only if the current Chart Supplement and local conditions support that assumption. The published remarks matter here. Black Butte is 1,500 feet southeast of the runway 27 threshold at 3,201 ft MSL. Sage brush is encroaching on the west end of runway 09 for 100 feet. The surface is reported as rough, soft and muddy when wet. Runway maintenance is irregular. No snow removal is provided. Wildlife and cattle are on and near the airport.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. Contact the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before arrival if you need current services. For commercial aircraft, the remarks direct crews to contact the BLM manager at 406-538-1923. For clearance delivery, contact Salt Lake ARTCC at 801-320-2568. This is a field where a first-time pilot should verify conditions carefully before committing. That is especially true after rain or during periods of livestock activity.
