About this map

Duffield Cem sits near the northern boundary of this Powder River County landscape, a small site of local historical importance in a region defined by high plains topography and drainage networks. The terrain is marked by prominent elevations including Chico Buttes, Nipple Butte, and Red Butte, which rise above a complex system of draws and seasonal watercourses. Large-scale ranching and land management are evident through the grid of section lines and the network of local roads such as Quietus Rd and Bear Creek Rd. Several named drainages, including Mac Alister Draw and Jojo Draw, feed into primary creeks like Bear Creek and Cedar Creek. This contemporary survey also documents specific natural springs, such as 08S45E24CADD01 Spring, which have long served as vital water sources in the semi-arid environment of southeastern Montana.
