1968 Map of Butterfly Creek

About this map

The arid plains of Eastern Montana are defined here by a network of intermittent drainage channels and high plateaus straddling the Rosebud and Custer county line. This landscape, surveyed in the late 1960s, is shaped by the winding course of South Sunday Creek, which dominates the northern half of the quadrangle. The lack of named settlements or major infrastructure highlights the expansive, open-range character of the territory, where terrain features like Sage Creek and Butterfly Creek serve as primary landmarks for navigation.
