Chalk Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this eastern Montana landscape, where the borders of Rosebud, Garfield, Prairie, and Custer Counties meet. This high-plains terrain is defined by a dendritic drainage network, with seasonal waterways like Wolf Cr and Crow Rock Cr carving through the breaks. The map captures the remote character of the region in the early twenty-first century, showing a sparse network of section-line roads and interior tracks such as Crow Rock Rd and Deadman Rd. Historically significant for its position at a four-county junction, the area remains dominated by ranching interests and expansive open range. Water sources such as E Uall Cr and Grimes Cr provide essential markers in a territory primarily organized by the Public Land Survey System, as evidenced by the clearly demarcated township lines for t13n r45e and t12n r45e.
