About this map

Limestone Butte dominates the central landscape of this portion of Lewis & Clark National Forest in Judith Basin County. The terrain is defined by a dense network of coulees and canyons, where drainage systems like Little Otter Cr and Big Otter Cr have carved deep paths through the Little Belt Mountains. This topography created a challenging environment for early transport, visible in the winding routes of Limestone Canyon Rd and Otter Creek Rd.

Genealogical interest centers on the Kibbey Cem located near Limestone Canyon and Kibbey Canyon. Named features such as Colarchik Cabin Coulee, Peterson Coulee, and Hansen Coulee suggest a history of localized settlement or homesteading within these mountain draws. The presence of Otter Mtn and Whiskey Spring Coulee further highlights the distinct landmarks used by those navigating this wilderness area.
