2011 Map of Home Creek Butte

About this map

Home Creek Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this portion of Powder River County, overseeing a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainages and seasonal water sources. The area is characterized by numerous small reservoirs, such as Phillips Reservoir and Tobin Reservoir, which suggest a reliance on water management for livestock or local needs. Named passes like Suicide Pass and Camps Pass indicate established routes through the terrain, while the presence of Schoolhouse Draw points to a history of local community infrastructure. The map documents several named springs, including Lemonade Spring, Hanson Spring, and Cabin Spring, which provided essential water points along the creeks. Drainages like Marvell Creek, Wilbur Creek, and Fly Creek carve through the region, illustrating the complex hydrology of this part of Montana just after the first decade of the 2000s.
