About this map

Chimney Butte stands as a prominent landmark within the northern reaches of the Bull Mountains in Musselshell County. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details a landscape defined by its deep drainages and intermittent watercourses, such as Fattig Cr and Fishel Cr. The region is marked by an intricate network of local access routes that follow the natural topography of the coulees, including Tepee Coulee Rd and Carters Coulee Rd.

The mapping reveals the characteristic geological formations of central Montana, where erosion has carved features like Y Bar Coulee and Tepee Coulee into the surrounding highlands. This document serves as a record of land use and road infrastructure in a sparsely populated ranching and timber area, illustrating the relationship between the rugged terrain and the transportation corridors established through the various townships.
