2011 Map of Badger Peak

About this map

Badger Peak stands as the central landmark of this high Montana landscape, where the headwaters of numerous creeks carve through the terrain of Rosebud County. The hydrological network is the defining characteristic of this area, with Miller Creek and the West Fork Miller Creek draining the northern reaches, while the southern portion is defined by the basins of Alderson Creek and the South Fork Alderson Creek. Local geography is further punctuated by named elevations and water sources including Charlie Black Butte and Diamond R Spring. For researchers, the presence of thoroughfares like Skyline Rd and Skyline Dr provides a clear view of how the land is traversed in relation to the complex drainage systems of Kelly Creek and Rye Grass Creek, highlighting the importance of reliable water sources like Mud Springs in this environment.
