2011 Map of Bracket Butte

About this map

Cottonwood Cemetery and the prominent landmark of Bracket Butte anchor this section of Fallon County, Montana, as it appeared in the early 21st century. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainages, including the branching paths of the North Fork Cottonwood Creek and South Fork Cottonwood Creek, which converge amidst several smaller waterways like Ash Creek and Station Creek. Water management in this high-plains environment is evident through infrastructure such as the Gray Number 1 Dam and Gray Number 3 Dam in the north. Settlement is sparse, with transportation primarily facilitated by 11 Mile Rd and a few improved routes crossing the creek beds, reflecting a rural ranching or agricultural pattern typical of the region. The map provides a precise look at the hydrology of the area, tracing the winding courses of Dry Creek, Archdale Creek, and Spring Creek.
