2014 Map of Badger Peak

About this map

Badger Peak dominates this Rosebud County landscape, marking a high point in a complex network of drainages and coulees southeast of Lame Deer. The southern portion of the sheet is anchored by Us-212, which follows the path of Alderson Cr and S Fork Alderson Cr. This corridor, joined by Alderson Ca Rd, represents the primary modern transportation route through the area. North of the highway, the terrain rises into a series of named divides and draws, including Yellow Fox Gulch and the prominent Charlie Black Butte. The map documents a territory defined by its water sources, from major seasonal channels like Rye Grass Cr and Miller Cr to specific cattle-country landmarks such as Diamond R Spring and Mud Springs. The intricate naming of features like West Fork Downey Coulee and Dobbs Coulee illustrates how local topography was meticulously cataloged for navigation and land management.
