About this map

Graveyard Creek and the surrounding drainage basins of Rosebud County define this landscape as it appeared in the early 21st century. The terrain is characterized by a network of intermittent watercourses, including North Miller Creek and South Miller Creek, which carve through the high plains of eastern Montana. One of the few prominent landmarks in this relatively open expanse is Baldy Butte, a geographic anchor for the region.

Infrastructure is sparse, primarily consisting of rugged routes like Sweeney Creek Rd that follow the natural topography. The map illustrates a classic western ranching landscape where life and transport are dictated by the paths of Sweeney Creek and Cow Creek. For researchers, this survey captures the rural character and essential water-source naming conventions of this sparsely populated area during a period of modern digital surveying.
