About this map

The Stillwater River cuts across the southeastern corner of this landscape, marking a low point in a region defined by high divides and named draws. Flowing from the south, it is joined by Trout Cr and Crazy Man Cr near the boundary of Sweet Grass and Stillwater counties. This river corridor serves as a focal point for local travel, with Trout Creek Ranch Rd and Co Rd 420 providing access to the riverbanks and nearby Blueball Lake.

Further north, the terrain rises toward Cow Face Hill, where the drainage patterns shift. The land is etched by numerous seasonal watercourses including Big Spring Gulch, Cudney Draw, and Elliot Draw. These features, alongside isolated high points like Mud Butte, illustrate a ranching landscape where names often reflect early family settlers or specific local landmarks. The presence of Stockade Rd and Cow Face Hill Rd highlights the practical network of routes used to navigate this high-country terrain.
