2013 Map of Chilly Buttes

About this map

Chilly and the surrounding Thousand Springs Valley define the character of this Custer County landscape. The geography is centered on the Big Lost River, which is flanked by the namesake Chilly Buttes and distinctive landforms like Swensen Butte and Bartlett Point. Water management is evident through the Chilly Canal, a critical component for agriculture on the Barton Flats. Local history and genealogy interests are anchored by the Chilly Cem, while the Big Lost River Upper Access Area marks a modern point of interaction with the river. The map also traces a network of rural routes including Sage Creek Rd and Peck Canyon Rd, which connect these high-valley settlements and agricultural basins.
