About this map

Kibby and the nearby Kibbey Cemetery are situated on the western edge of this landscape in central Montana, where the terrain is defined by the drainages of Little Otter Creek and Big Otter Creek. The area transitions from open range into the Lewis and Clark National Forest, which covers the southern portion of the map. Numerous coulees, such as Dutchman Coulee, Hansen Coulee, and Peterson Coulee, carve through the high ground surrounding Limestone Butte.

The presence of Colarchik Cabin Coulee and Whiskey Spring suggests a history of early homesteading and seasonal livestock management. Transportation is limited to gravel routes like Limestone Butte Rd and various county roads that follow the natural contours of the deep Limestone Canyon. This survey captures a remote ranching and forest environment where water sources and named geographic markers were essential for navigation and land claims.
