About this map

Limestone Butte stands as the central high point in this 2017 survey of the Montana landscape within the Lewis & Clark National Forest. The geography is defined by a series of deep coulees and canyons, such as Kibbey Canyon and Limestone Canyon, which drain into the branching systems of Little Otter Cr and Big Otter Cr. These waterways cut through the high-elevation terrain, creating the distinct drainage patterns visible in Dutchman Coulee and Whiskey Spring Coulee.

Local history and family names are reflected in the land's nomenclature, notably at the Kibbey Cem located near the northern reaches of Limestone Canyon Rd. The map detail shows a sparse road network, including Goose Creek Rd and Spion Kop Rd, which navigate the rises toward Otter Mtn. This document captures the intersection of forestry management and rural land usage in Judith Basin County during the early 21st century.
