2024 Map of Seven-up Butte

About this map

Lame Jones Cem sits at the northern edge of this high plains landscape, a quiet marker of early settlement along the drainage of Lame Jones Creek. The terrain is defined by the prominent Seven-up Butte, which overlooks a network of intermittent waterways including Milk Creek and its tributary, South Fork Milk Creek. The survey reveals a sparse but deliberate network of section-line roads and named trails, such as Lame Jones Trl and Plevna Rd S, which facilitate transit across the open range. The southern portion of the map documents the administrative boundary between Fallon County and Carter County, illustrating how these remote drainage basins and buttes were partitioned into township and range grids. The concentration of names around the creek valleys suggests these watercourses remained the primary focal points for navigation and land use in this part of eastern Montana.
