2017 Map of Cap Rock Butte

About this map

Cap Rock Butte rises above the drainage networks of north-central Montana, where the Garfield County landscape is defined by its network of named coulees and creeks. This 2017 survey shows a land shaped by water and wind, marked by prominent landmarks like Baker Point and the winding course of Nancy Russell Cr. The presence of H Cross Spring in the southern portion of the quadrangle highlights the critical importance of reliable water sources in this high-plains environment. A sparse network of roads, including Brusett Rd and Boxcar Rd, provides the primary access through the townships, while terrain features like Curry Coulee and Wolf Cr dominate the topography. This map effectively documents the contemporary cattle-country infrastructure, where township and range boundaries intersect with a hydrological system comprising Little Nancy Russell Cr and Indian Cr.
