2017 Map of Little Pilgrim Butte

About this map

Little Pilgrim Butte dominates the northern landscape of this Powder River County terrain, serving as a prominent landmark above a complex network of seasonal drainages and draws. The drainage pattern is particularly intricate here, with Little Pilgrim Cr and Poker Jim Cr cutting through the northern sections while Pilgrim Cr and Hay Cr snake through the central and southern reaches. This modern topographical survey highlights the remote character of southeastern Montana, where infrastructure is limited to a few arterial tracks like Pilgrim Creek Rd and Moore Rd. For those tracing local history or family ties to the land, the presence of Edwards Spring and named features like Strock Draw and Jim Drake Cr provide specific points of reference in an area defined by its hydrology and landform rather than urban development.
