2011 Map of Cook Creek Butte

About this map

Buffalo Jump stands as a prominent cultural and topographic marker in this high plains landscape within the Birney District. The terrain is defined by a dense network of seasonal drainages and creek forks, including Saint Johns Fork and South Fork Lame Deer Creek, which carve through the plateau. This 2011 survey captures the area's transition into the modern era, where remote access is maintained via unpaved routes such as Cook Creek Rd and Wild Hog Creek Rd. The presence of the Cook Creek Butte provides a central landmark for navigating this portion of Rosebud County, while the recorded 05S41E10ACBC01 Spring indicates the critical role of water sources in this arid environment. The map details a landscape largely defined by its natural hydrology, from Clubfoot Creek in the northeast to the namesake Cook Creek winding through the southern reaches.
