2017 Map of Buxton

About this map

Deerlodge National Forest dominates the western half of this landscape, where the Continental Divide crests near the high ground of Sunday Ridge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages and gulches, including McCleery, Orchard, and Price, which feed into lower valleys. In the east, the transportation corridor follows the path of Sand Creek, punctuated by the small settlements of Buxton and Feely. This area serves as a critical transition point across the mountains, evidenced by the presence of Deer Lodge Pass and the S Buxton Frontage Rd. The map also captures several named landmarks such as Feeley Hill and Park Canyon, alongside local land features like the Morris Angus Ranch. The spatial layout reveals how human transit routes, such as the Pronghorn Trail, have historically conformed to the rugged topography of the Divide.
