About this map

Chimney Crossing anchors the southwestern corner of this Garfield County landscape, where the terrain is defined by a series of prominent buttes and complex drainage systems. Named geological features such as Waddington Dome, Neiter Butte, and Thomas Butte rise above the surrounding plains, providing essential landmarks in an area dominated by cattle ranching and open range. The water management of the region is evident in the presence of the Brown Number 3 Dam, a critical piece of infrastructure for local agriculture.

Waterways like Skeleton Creek and the Dry Fork Calf Creek weave through the coulees, including Tuccori Coulee and Deeks Coulee. To the northeast, the Sand Springs Strip marks a distinctive point of interest near the headwaters of the South Fork Lodgepole Creek. This survey provides a clear view of the sparse road networks and topographic transitions characteristic of the Big Sky country in the early 21st century.
