About this map

Pocochichee Butte rises as a central landmark in this high-plains landscape where the border of Powder River Co and Carter Co bisects the terrain. The map documents a sparsely populated ranching region defined by complex drainage networks and distinct topographic breaks. Waterways like Pocochichee Cr, Flag Cr, and Honeycomb Cr carve through the landscape, creating a series of draws including Plum Thicket Draw and W L Draw.

Named geological features provide the primary orientation points for local history and land use, from the Honeycomb Hills and Mud Buttes in the northwest to Hackett Butte and Saddle Butte. Human presence is minimal, represented largely by the winding path of Crow Creek Rd and the systematic grid of the Public Land Survey System, which remains the fundamental framework for property and navigation in this part of Montana.
