About this map

Chimney Crossing anchors the southern portion of this Garfield County landscape, situated near the headwaters of Fish Cr and Tripp Coulee. The terrain is defined by a complex network of seasonal drainage channels, or coulees, which carve through the high plains. Major watercourses like Sand Coulee and Dry Fork Calf Cr weave between prominent topographic rises, including Cox Butte and Thomas Butte.

The presence of Waddington Dome and several named buttes such as Neiter Butte and O'Day Butte suggests a geologically diverse environment typical of the Missouri River breaks region. Transportation is limited to a few established routes including MT-200 and rural corridors like Benzien Rd and Rogge Rd. This survey provides a clear look at the intricate drainage patterns, from Skeleton Cr to Deeks Coulee, that have dictated the placement of ranch roads and small crossings in this part of Montana.
