About this map

Packsaddle Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this landscape defined by the drainage systems of the Yellowstone River. Published at the turn of the millennium, this survey details the rugged topography where the Big Timber Ranger District and Gallatin National Forest meet. The map reveals a complex network of waterways, including Upper Deer Creek, Lower Deer Creek, and Greycliff Creek, carving through the gulches and coulees that characterize the southern Montana terrain.

A remote corner of Sweet Grass County, the area is marked by features like Overfelt Gulch and Norwegian Gulch, reflecting the region's topographical naming conventions. Researchers can trace the path of Bridger Creek and find smaller features such as West Bridger Spring and Silver Spring Creek. The map also indicates a Footbridge, suggesting local access points within the National Forest boundaries at this time.
