About this map

Little Pilgrim Butte dominates the northern horizon of this Powder River County landscape, marking a terrain defined by complex drainages and high plains ridges. The network of seasonal watercourses, including Little Pilgrim Cr and Poker-Jim Cr, illustrates the intricate erosion patterns of the Montana breaks. At the heart of the quadrangle, Edwards Spring serves as a vital water source near the confluence of several named draws, a crucial feature for land management and local hydrology in this arid region.

Roadways such as Pilgrim Creek Rd and Moore Rd provide the primary access through the sections of T4S and T5S, following the natural contours of the land. The presence of features like Sage Hen Cr and Papoose Cr reflects a naming tradition tied to the local ecology and geography of the western frontier. This survey captures the region's topographical character as it appeared in the early 21st century, documented by the U.S. Geological Survey.
