2020 Map of Dry Creek Butte

About this map

The E Fork Little Powder River cuts through this landscape in Powder River County, Montana, providing a focal point for the surrounding high plains. The terrain is defined by prominent topographical rises such as Dry Creek Butte and the East Fork Buttes, which serve as natural landmarks in a region largely shaped by intermittent drainage systems. Small seasonal waterways including Draine Cr, Harry Cr, and Burdette Cr fan out across the township, illustrating the complex watershed of the Montana backcountry. The presence of Olson Gulch and various creek beds like Rough Cr and Flat Cr suggests a pastoral environment where water access dictated the placement of ranching infrastructure and local movement. This survey provides a clear view of the section lines and township boundaries that organize the rural geography of the northern Great Plains.
