2020 Map of Flat Bottom Coulee NW

About this map

Gold Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this segment of Rosebud County, punctuating a landscape defined by high plains drainage systems. The hydrology of the region is anchored by Stellar Cr in the east and E Blacktail Cr in the northwest, which carve through the undulating terrain. This map captures the modern rural infrastructure of the area, centered on the junction of Stellar Creek Rd and Aldringer Rd. The land is meticulously gridded according to the Public Land Survey System, as seen in the boundaries of t11n r38e, reflecting the orderly distribution of territory in the Montana ranchlands. Though largely open and unpopulated, the placement of these roads and the naming of small buttes suggest the long-standing importance of specific landmarks for navigation and land management in the Big Sky Country.
