2020 Map of Oliphant Butte

About this map

The Powder River carves a winding path through this corner of Powder River County, Montana, defining a landscape of complex drainage systems and isolated high points. Near the eastern edge, Oliphant Butte rises above the surrounding terrain, served by the local network of Powderville East Rd. The hydrology of the area is remarkably dense, with named drainages like Mushroom Cr, Prairie Cr, and Oliphant Cr branching away from the main river valley. Cultural features are sparse in this rural expanse, though landmarks such as Tepee Hill and Hillside Draw provide essential points of orientation for those navigating the backcountry. This 2020 map documents the modern layout of secondary roads, including W Powderville Rd, as they navigate the ridges and coulees that characterize the northern Great Plains environment.
