2024 Map of Rosebud Buttes

About this map

Rosebud Buttes anchor this portion of the Montana landscape, standing as a prominent geological feature in Rosebud County. The terrain is defined by a dendritic network of drainages, where the waters of Rosebud Creek and Butte Creek have carved a complex series of ridges and coulees. This contemporary map documents the modern rural infrastructure of the region, including local access routes like Wildcat Rd and Alder Ranch Rd. Small-scale residential development is evident along Rosebud Creek Estates Ln, showing the slow expansion of settlement near West Rosebud Creek. The cartography also traces numerous smaller watercourses, such as Indian Creek and Runaway Creek, which highlight the intricate hydrology of this high-plains environment within the Public Land Survey System grids of T5N and T6N.
