1971 Map of Coxcombe Butte

About this map

Lewis and Clark National Forest encompasses the northern half of this terrain, where the prominent Coxcombe Butte stands as a central landmark. The landscape is defined by a dense network of water sources and drainage systems, including Whitetail Deer Creek and Little Sheep Creek. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the Buckingham Reservoir and the winding course of Newlan Creek indicate the significance of water management for the surrounding ranching or agricultural lands. The presence of several named springs, such as Buffalo Spring, Butterfly Spring, and Horsefly Spring, highlights the critical importance of reliable water points in this part of Meagher County. Evidence of local industry is sparse but present, noted by a Gravel Pit located near the boundary between Meagher Co and Park Co.
