About this map

Rosebud Buttes stands as the central landmark in this portion of Rosebud County, where the high plains are carved by an intricate network of drainage systems. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Rosebud Cr, which is joined by tributaries including W Rosebud Cr and Vance Cr. This modern survey illustrates a rural environment where land use is structured by the Public Land Survey System, as seen in the grid of township and range lines such as t5n r42e and t5n r43e.

Transportation in the area relies on a mix of established routes like Rte 447 and more remote ranch access points. Named local roads, including Alder Ranch Rd and Butte Creek Rd, highlight the ongoing importance of livestock operations in this territory. The presence of Rosebud Creek Estates Ln suggests modern residential developments emerging along the creek valley, while the southeastern corner is marked by the distinct depression of Howard Coulee.
