2020 Map of Locomotive Butte

About this map

Locomotive Butte dominates this high-plains landscape, where the boundary between Golden Valley and Stillwater counties cuts through a series of dramatic coulees and creek beds. The terrain is defined by the drainage systems of Big Coulee Creek and Rock Creek, which have carved deep valleys into the surrounding plateaus. Human activity in this rural ranching country is centered around a network of gravel routes and private access ways, including Big Coulee Road and Ramage Road. Of particular interest to aviation and local history is the Three Cross Ranch Airport, located in the southwest corner near Hines Ranch Road. This map provides a look at the modern land use and remote infrastructure in the northern reaches of the county during the early 21st century.
