2011 Map of Packsaddle Butte

About this map

Packsaddle Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this portion of Sweet Grass County, anchoring a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainage systems and high-country topography. The northern edge of the map is shaped by the Yellowstone River, which runs adjacent to the Greycliff Rest Area and Interstate 90. Flowing from the south and west, a series of significant watercourses including Bridger Creek, West Bridger Creek, and Greycliff Creek carve through the terrain, joined by smaller drainages such as Log Cabin Creek and Lower Deer Creek. The road network is largely rural, with routes like Halvorson Rd and W Bridger Creek Rd providing access to the more isolated areas near Bear Chip Coulee and Derby Gulch. This 2011 survey captures the area's essential hydrology and landforms, illustrating the transition from the river corridor to the higher elevations of the butte country.
