2017 Map of Deer Creek Buttes

About this map

Deer Creek Buttes anchors this landscape in eastern Montana, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of seasonal drainages and sharp relief. The western edge of the map is bordered by the Powder River, a historical artery of the region, while the interior is cut by numerous creek forks including the N Fork Horse Cr and S Fork Horse Cr. The presence of established routes like Powderville Rd and Moore Rd indicates long-standing connectivity through this section of Powder River County. The map provides a detailed view of the local topography, highlighting named features such as Wolf Draw, Strock Draw, and the curiously named Poker Jim Gulch. These labels offer a glimpse into the naming conventions and local history of the ranchers and early settlers who navigated these draws and creek beds.
