2024 Map of Diamond G Butte NW

About this map

The Big Sheep Mountains dominate this high-plains landscape in Eastern Montana, marking a rugged terrain where the boundaries of McCone, Dawson, and Prairie Counties converge. This 2024 survey documents a complex system of seasonal drainages that carve through the arid topography, including the headwaters of Dry Ash Creek and the branching reaches of Clear Creek. The map reveals a sparse infrastructure typical of this ranching country, defined by remote corridors like Union Rd and S Fork Clear Creek Rd. These routes track the natural contours of the land, providing access between the high ridges and low-lying areas such as Deep Bottom. For those tracing the geography of the Montana badlands, the map provides precise locations for the forks of North Fork Tusler Creek and East Fork Bud Route Creek.
