1987 Map of Blue Stone Peak

About this map

Sawtooth Mountain and Blue Stone Peak dominate this corner of Blaine County, where the high plains rise into prominent peaks and ridges. The landscape is defined by the drainages of South Fork Cow Creek and West Fork Black Coulee, which cut through the complex topography of the Bearpaw Mountains. Numerous springs are marked across the terrain, indicating vital water sources for the cattle ranching operations that utilize this land. Evidence of local land use is visible in the network of unimproved roads leading to a Corral and several underground pipelines that traverse the township lines. Along the western edge, the slopes of Elhorn Mountain and the distinctive Index Butte provide navigational landmarks. This 1980s-era study documents the drainage patterns of Sand Creek and the intricate contour intervals of the mountain front, offering a clear record of the watershed and ranching infrastructure.
