2011 Map of Miles Butte

About this map

Peoples Creek meanders through this portion of Blaine County, serving as the central drainage for a landscape defined by isolated summits and water management features. Prominent landforms such as Miles Butte, Iron Butte, and McCann Butte rise above the surrounding terrain, while the northern reaches show a series of small-scale impoundments including Yukon Jack Dam and the curiously named Yuletide Dam. The importance of water conservation in this arid ranching environment is evident in the naming of local landmarks like Kuhr Number 2 Dam and the Kuhr Coulee. Access through this open country is maintained by a handful of primary routes, most notably Peoples Creek Rd and Barney Olson Rd, which link the various drainages and seasonal creek beds like Maggie Creek and O'Bryan Creek.
