2020 Map of Butterfly Creek

About this map

Lookout Butte serves as a prominent landmark in this section of the Montana rangeland, where the drainages of S Sunday Cr and its various tributaries define the landscape. The map shows a transition of administrative boundaries, marking the line between Rosebud Co and Custer Co in the northern portion of the quadrangle. The road network is sparse, centered primarily on S Sunday Creek Rd, which tracks the hydrology of the area. This survey reveals an intricate drainage system including Sage Cr, Butterfly Cr, and the descriptively named Bow and Arrow Cr. The topography is characterized by the erosional patterns typical of this region, with Reservation Cr and Steiger Cr cutting through the southern townships, illustrating the vital water routes in an otherwise arid environment.
