About this map

Cat Creek Cem sits as a lonely marker in the center of this Petroleum County landscape, a vital point of reference for genealogists tracing family roots in this expansive ranching country. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Box Elder Creek and McDonald Creek, which carve through the plains and meet in the southern portion of the sheet. These drainage patterns, including the deep-cut Bull Springs Coulee and Jackson Coulee, dictate the orientation of local roads and the few remaining structures in the area. The map illustrates a contemporary view of these natural boundaries and remote watercourses like Cat Creek and Brush Creek, showing the persistence of the original township and range divisions across the Big Sky landscape.
