1967 Map of Coffin Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Wolf Cem sits on a high divide in this part of Garfield County, overlooking a landscape defined by the branching waters of the Lodgepole Creek system. Surveyed in the late 1960s, the map reveals a sparsely settled ranching environment where water management was essential to survival, evidenced by the presence of the Steel Mule Reservoir. The terrain is punctuated by distinctive landforms such as Coffin Butte in the northwest and Rattlesnake Butte to the southeast, which served as natural landmarks for early travelers and residents. The drainage patterns of the Middle Fork Lodgepole Creek and South Fork Lodgepole Creek dictate the placement of local roads and property boundaries, illustrating how the physical geography of the Montana plains shaped the footprint of its rural inhabitants.
