About this map

Saint Philips Cem serves as a quiet landmark in this corner of eastern Montana, where the high plains transition into a series of distinctive overlooks and drainages. The landscape is defined by elevated points such as Red Top Butte, Jackrabbit Butte, and Podolski Butte, which rise above the surrounding prairie. Water management is central to the area's geography, anchored by the Lamesteer Reservoir and the winding course of Beaver Cr, which are essential features in this semi-arid environment.

A network of named trails and roads like Custer Trl and Last Chance Trl suggests a history of passage and cattle ranching across the township boundaries. These routes, alongside names like Horse Point, reveal how the terrain influenced movement and settlement patterns in Wibaux County. The map provides a clear record of the local infrastructure and the natural landmarks that have guided generations of residents and travelers through this open country.
