2011 Map of Cherry Spring

About this map

Square Butte and the nearby Three Buttes rise above a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainage channels in this part of Yellowstone County. The area is characterized by the convergence of several ephemeral and seasonal watercourses, including the principal Hawk Creek and its tributary, the Dry Fork Hawk Creek. A specific water source, the 06N28E09ADD_01 Spring, provides a precise point of interest for those studying local hydrology or land use. A sparse road network, including Shepherd Rd and Fishel Creek Rd, navigates the terrain between these prominent landmarks and the deep cuts of Cow Gulch. This 2011 survey captures a quiet, high-plains landscape where topography dictates the path of both the water and the few primitive roads that cross it.
