About this map

Lone Indian Butte stands as a prominent landmark in this section of Sweet Grass County, part of a rugged terrain defined by significant elevation changes and seasonal drainage networks. The landscape is carved by numerous namesake gulches, including Norman Gulch, Barney Gulch, and Wullum Gulch, which feed into various creeks. The drainage patterns are particularly intricate, with Sweet Grass Creek in the northwest and the winding courses of Hangmans Cr and Deadmans Cr further south.

Infrastructure is sparse across these uplands, consisting primarily of remote access routes like Deadmans Canyon Rd and roads serving Shanks Basin. The presence of the Choo-heh-meen Hills adds to the complex topography of the region. This 2017 survey provides an exacting look at the township and range boundaries of South-Central Montana, where the intersection of high buttes and deep gulches dictates the movement of both water and travelers.
