About this map

The Stillwater River carves a deep path through this portion of Stillwater County, Montana, serving as the central geographic axis for the settlement of Nye. This 2014 survey captures a landscape defined by its transition from the agricultural lower elevations of Horseman Flats to the protected timberlands of Custer National Forest. The map documents critical local landmarks like the Stillwater River Bridge and provides genealogical reference through the locations of the Nye Cemetery and a second Nye Cem nearby.

Evidence of the area's geological and cultural history is visible in features like the Buffalo Jump near the riverbanks. The survey also reveals a complex network of springs—including Ekwortzel Spring, Hudson Spring, and Lundy Spring—that sustain the high-elevation coulees and draws such as Stanley Coulee and Robinson Draw. A dense system of backcountry trails, including the Bighorn Trl and Sioux Trl, marks the rugged transition into the forest interior.
