2011 Map of Buxton

About this map

Deer Lodge Pass serves as a central geographic corridor through this section of Silver Bow County, where modern infrastructure follows paths carved by the landscape's many gulches and canyons. The presence of the NW NE Section 32 Mine and the Stauffer Chemical Number 1 Dam highlights the region's industrial and resource-driven history. Transit and commerce are centered around the rail lines and sidings, specifically Silver Bow Siding and Buxton Siding, which sit near the small settlements of Buxton and Feely. The terrain is characterized by a series of drainage features, including Sunday Gulch and Pink Gulch, which flow toward Sand Creek and Silver Bow Creek. This map illustrates how the rugged topography of areas like Sunday Ridge and Park Canyon has dictated the placement of roads such as German Gulch Rd and Battle Ridge Rd.
