2014 Map of Cook Creek Butte

About this map

The Big Horn and Rosebud County boundary bisects this high-plains landscape, where the topography is defined by the significant rise of Cook Creek Butte and the cultural landmark of Buffalo Jump. The intricate drainage network reveals the essential role of water in this arid environment, with the Saint Johns Fork and Cook Cr carving paths through the terrain. Numerous individual springs, such as Saint Johns Spring and several numbered water sources like 05S41E07CCDA01 Spring, are cataloged across the landscape, indicating their importance for grazing and local hydrology. Human passage is marked by a handful of established routes, including Cook Creek Rd, Black Eagle Rd, and Wild Hog Basin Rd, which provide access to these remote reaches of the Birney District.
