About this map

East Butte dominates the northwestern corner of this Liberty County landscape, a prominent geological anchor that rises above the surrounding plains. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems, including Sage Creek, Little Sage Creek, and the winding Tootsie Creek, which cut through the benchlands. Landforms like Devils Chimney and Mount Lebanon offer distinct landmarks within this ranching and energy-producing territory.

Resource extraction and agriculture define the land use during the early 1960s, evidenced by the Bears Den Oil and Gas Field on the eastern margin and various marked Well sites. Isolated improvements like the Roke Ranch and localized landmarks such as Bear Tooth and McGuire Hill provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracing family holdings or historical grazing patterns. A prominent Pipeline traverses the center, connecting the energy resources of the Sweetgrass Hills region to broader networks.
