About this map

Squaw Butte dominates the southern landscape of this Sheridan County quadrangle, situated along the Montana and Wyoming border. This high-plains terrain is defined by an intricate network of drainages and seasonal watercourses that have carved the land into a series of draws and prongs. The hydrology of the region is centered on systems like Trail Cr, Fence Cr, and Seventysix Cr, which weave through the townships. The naming conventions of the landscape, such as Sawmill Draw and Schoolhouse Prong, hint at the historic ranching and early settlement activities that once utilized these specific topographical features for shelter or resources. Transportation across this remote borderland is limited to primary corridors like Passaic Rd and Fence Creek Rd, which follow the natural contours of the land to connect disparate cattle ranges and homesteads.
