2021 Map of Elk Butte

About this map

Elk Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this section of the Bighorn Basin, anchoring a landscape defined by significant elevation changes and deep drainage networks. The terrain is marked by the sharp profile of Cedar Ridge and the extensive Meeteetse Rim to the south, which overlooks the valley of Cottonwood Cr. The map reveals a complex system of seasonal watercourses, including Coal Mine Gulch and Oregon Coulee, illustrating how water has historically shaped the local topography.
