2024 Map of Flat Bottom Coulee NW

About this map

East Blacktail Creek and Stellar Creek carve through this section of Rosebud County, defining a landscape of drainages and high points typical of the Montana plains. The terrain is anchored by Gold Butte, a prominent landmark in an area otherwise characterized by its intricate coulee systems. The survey reflects a sparsely populated ranching or agricultural environment where travel is dictated by routes like Stellar Creek Rd and Alidinger Rd. These roads follow the natural contours of the land, connecting disparate sections of the Public Land Survey System, including t11n r38e and t12n r38e. The map illustrates how modern infrastructure remains tethered to the original township and range grid, providing a clear view of land divisions and water access points critical for local history and land-use research.
