1967 Map of Cox Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Thomas Sch serves as a lone community focal point in this high-plains landscape of central Montana, where the topography is defined by prominent elevations and a complex network of coulees. The terrain is punctuated by significant landmarks such as Neiter Butte, Waddington Dome, and O'Day Butte, while the namesake Cox Butte rises above the Dry Fork of Lodgepole Creek. This 1967 field-checked survey reveals a sparse ranching economy dependent on reliable water access at points like Chimney Crossing on Cat Creek. A web of unimproved dirt roads and selected fence lines connects remote outposts, including the area around the Sand Springs BM 3194 marker. The drainage pattern, featuring Skeleton Creek and the South Fork Lodgepole Creek, illustrates the erosional forces that have carved out named draws like Tuccori Coulee and Hensleigh Coulee.
