2011 Map of Scoffin Butte

About this map

Scoffin Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this Teton County landscape, where the foothills of the Rockies meet the plains of northern Montana. The drainage patterns are the defining characteristic of this area, with Birch Creek marking the northern reaches and Sheep Creek winding through the central portion. Water management is a critical component of the local geography, evidenced by the Tedson Reservoir and the Tedson Reservoir Dam in the southwest, along with the B Canal and Dupuyer Creek to the east. The map illustrates a network of rural routes such as Swift Dam Rd and W Dupuyer Rd, which follow the natural contours of the various creek forks including North Fork Sheep Creek and Scoffin Creek. This 2011 survey documents a sparsely populated ranching or agricultural environment where infrastructure is secondary to the hydrological network.
