2011 Map of Flat Bottom Coulee NW

About this map

Gold Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this section of Rosebud County, where the landscape is defined by the drainage systems of East Blacktail Creek and Stellar Creek. The area is notably shaped by water management and ranching infrastructure, evidenced by numerous named reservoirs including Big Timber Number 50 Dam, Crosby Number 3 Dam, and J Galt Number 11 Dam. These features, often named after local families or livestock operations, reflect the human effort to capture runoff in a semi-arid environment. Grounded by a grid of rural routes such as Aldinger Rd and Stellar Creek Rd, the map provides a look at the geographic distribution of resources and topography in the decade following the turn of the millennium.
