About this map

Baldy Butte rises above a highly dissected drainage landscape in this 2020 study of the borderlands between Rosebud and Custer Counties. The region is defined by an intricate network of seasonal watercourses, including Graveyard Cr, Sweeney Cr, and the bifurcated reaches of N Miller Cr and S Miller Cr. These streams carve deep into the plateau, creating a complex topographic grain that dictates the path of local infrastructure like Sweeney Creek Rd and Moon Creek Rd.

This modern data from the U.S. Geological Survey reveals a sparsely populated ranching or range environment where human footprints are limited to the few through-roads and sectional boundaries. The map provides a detailed view of the headwaters for several systems, such as Cow Cr and Pump Cr, illustrating the vital role of drainage patterns in shaping the development and accessibility of this Montana interior.
