About this map

Beaver Creek meanders through this landscape in eastern Wibaux County, defining the drainage patterns of a sparsely populated agricultural region. The high ground of Four Buttes stands as a prominent topographical landmark north of the creek, while Rte 261 provides the primary north-south passage through the area. Several tributaries, including Hay Creek, its East Branch Hay Creek, and Box Elder Creek, create a complex network of coulees and draws typical of the Missouri Plateau. This 2011 survey documents the rural character of the Montana plains at the start of the second decade of the 21st century, showing the enduring ranching and farming roads that connect isolated homesteads to the broader county infrastructure.
