About this map

Sunday Butte stands as a prominent landmark in this eastern Montana landscape, overlooking a complex network of seasonal drainages and cattle country infrastructure. The terrain is defined by the headwaters of several systems, including the westward-flowing Ryans Fork and the eastward-trending South Sunday Creek. Water management in this arid environment is evidenced by the presence of the Trail Cr Reservoir, a critical point for local land use and livestock.

Remote service roads like rd203 snake through the contours, providing the primary access to the drainage basins of Upper Coal Creek and Rough Creek. The map details a transition between township boundaries, specifically where t11n r41e meets surrounding sections, highlighting the systematic division of these open rangelands. Features like Wildcat Gullee and Dog Creek further illustrate the intricate erosion patterns that have shaped the Rosebud County topography.
