2017 Map of Rocking Chair Butte

About this map

Rocking Chair Butte dominates the central landscape of this eastern Montana territory along the border of Wibaux and Fallon Counties. The map details a network of watercourses including Cedar Creek in the north and the branching waters of Cabin Creek and North Fork Cabin Creek to the south. This terrain is marked by the distinctive cattle-ranching and oil-field infrastructure characteristic of the region, evidenced by the presence of Anticline Road and the Cabin Creek Loop. The rectilinear grid of the Public Land Survey System overlaying the topographical contours reveals a land organized for resource management and grazing. Local transit is defined by rural routes such as Bar Nothing Road, which thread through the drainage basins and elevated buttes of the Great Plains.
