2014 Map of Butterfly Creek

About this map

Lookout Butte rises as a central landmark over the high plains of the Rosebud County and Custer County line. This landscape is defined by its intricate drainage patterns, where high ridges divide the headwaters of numerous creeks that flow across the vast range. In the north, Bow and Arrow Cr and S Sunday Cr carve through the terrain, while Butterfly Cr and Reservation Cr drain the eastern slopes. These watercourses have historically dictated the placement of ranch roads and livestock infrastructure across this part of Montana. The map provides a detailed view of the sectional divisions between Township 8 North and Township 9 North, illustrating the systematic land survey grid that overlays this sparse, open territory.
