About this map

Castle Butte rises above the drainage networks of Rosebud County, serving as a primary landmark in this section of the Montana plains. The landscape is defined by an intricate system of coulees, including Machine Coulee, Crossman Coulee, and McGraw Coulee, which channel seasonal runoff toward larger creek beds. These intermittent watercourses, such as Hay Cr and its N Prong Hay Cr, illustrate the subtle but essential hydrography of the region.

Modern infrastructure is sparse, with Gerhardt Rd providing the principal overland access across the southern portion of the quadrangle. The map details the Public Land Survey System divisions, showing the township and range boundaries that have organized this territory since its initial settlement. Small drainages like Greasewood Cr and Little Ash Cr snake through the terrain, highlighting the natural erosion patterns that have shaped the high plains environment.
