2024 Map of Coxcombe Butte

About this map

The Little Belt Mountains dominate this high-altitude terrain, where the Lewis & Clark National Forest encompasses most of the landscape. Water management and drainage are central to the geography, anchored by the Newlan Creek Reservoir and the smaller Buckingham Reservoir to the west. The map shows a network of named springs, including Buffalo Spring, Butterfly Spring, and Horsefly Spring, which feed the many gulches and creeks that carve through the peaks. Notable elevations such as Coxcombe Butte and Abbott Ridge overlook a complex system of seasonal and perennial waterways like Rabbit Creek and Whitetail Deer Creek. This area in Meagher County is defined by its forest management infrastructure, with Newlan Creek Rd and Newlan Trl providing access through the timber and along the reservoir's edge.
