2024 Map of Buxton

About this map

Deerlodge National Forest covers much of this high-elevation landscape, where the Continental Divide winds through the southwestern corner. The settlement of Buxton sits at the base of Sunday Ridge, while Feely is positioned further south near Feeley Hill. This area is defined by its drainage patterns and the historic transit corridor passing through Deer Lodge Pass. Numerous gulches such as Sunday Gulch, Price Gulch, and Hanson Gulch carve into the terrain, indicating a complex watershed that feeds into Seven Springs Creek and East Fork Divide Creek. For those tracing the evolution of Montana trail systems, the map shows the modern path of the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail as it traverses the ridges and passes. Rural life is anchored by landmarks like the Morris Angus Ranch and crossings like Miles Xing.
