About this map

Crain Place is situated within the high plains of Rosebud County, Montana, where a complex network of intermittent drainages defines the local topography. This 2014 survey captures the rural ranching landscape as it appeared in the early 21st century, with primary access provided by the unpaved Butte Creek Rd and Cherry Creek Rd. The region is marked by numerous natural water sources critical for livestock and wildlife, including Barrot Spring and several unnamed springs documented by their township and range coordinates.

The drainage patterns of Goodman Cr and Eagle Cr in the south, along with Twelvemile Cr and Bell Cr in the north, illustrate the intricate erosion of the Missouri Plateau. This map is an essential record for researchers tracing the land use of specific Montana sections, such as those within t4n r44e and t3n r43e, where the relationship between reliable water and the vast range remains the central feature of human settlement.
