2011 Map of Belltower Butte

About this map

Belltower Butte and Chimney Rock anchor this high plains landscape in eastern Montana, where the drainage systems of Skull Creek and Sand Creek define the local topography. This 2011 survey illustrates a land primarily organized around water management and primitive transit, evidenced by man-made catchments like Jay Reservoir and Dewdrop Reservoir. The map reveals a sparse network of back-country routes including Sand Creek Rd and Chimney Rock Rd that follow the natural contours of the creeks. Other waterways, such as Tie Creek and Catamount Creek, lace through the terrain, suggesting a reliance on seasonal flow and ranching infrastructure. This document provides a clear record of the geographic landmarks and watershed patterns that characterize the Custer National Forest area of Carter County.
