2020 Map of Cox Butte

About this map

Cox Butte rises above a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainage channels and prominent elevations in this Garfield County interior. The terrain is marked by a series of named coulees, including Sand Coulee, Tuccori Coulee, and Deeks Coulee, which direct seasonal runoff toward S Fork Lodgepole Cr and the Dry Fork Calf Cr. These drainage patterns are interspersed with distinct geologic features such as Waddington Dome and several family-named buttes like Thomas Butte and Neiter Butte. Settlement here is sparse, with infrastructure limited to the Sand Springs Strip and Benzien Rd, reflecting the ranching and livestock history of this part of Montana. The map provides a clear look at the public land survey system, illustrating the townships and sections that organize this remote territory.
