2011 Map of Schuyler Butte

About this map

Dryer Place sits at the northern edge of this high-plains landscape, where the drainage systems of Kill Woman Creek and Chippy Creek carve through the Montana terrain toward the massive expanse of Fort Peck Lake. The shoreline of the reservoir dominates the southern half of the map, revealing a complex network of inlets and points shaped by the local topography. High points such as Schuyler Butte and Iron Stake Ridge provide clear geographic markers above the coulees, including La Plaz Coulee and Shed Coulee. This 2011 survey documents the remote character of Phillips County, illustrating the sparse human footprint in an area defined by its massive water resources and the deep erosional cuts of the Missouri River breaks country.
