2024 Map of Brusett

About this map

The tiny settlement of Brusett serves as a remote hub in the sprawling Garfield County ranchlands, where the landscape is defined by the winding drainages of Smoky Butte Creek and Lone Tree Coulee. This map documents a high-plains topography of deep coulees and intermittent stream beds that have shaped settlement patterns for generations. To the west, the Loomis & Clark Trl cuts across the terrain, reflecting the historical movement through this isolated part of Montana. Secondary routes like W Snow Creek Rd and Edwards Rd link widely scattered ranch sites across the t20n r35e and t19n r35e townships. The convergence of the North Fork Lone Tree Creek and East Fork Lone Tree Creek highlights the drainage systems that remain critical for local land use in this arid environment.
