2011 Map of Shane Ridge

About this map

The Yellowstone River cuts across the northern edge of this landscape, framed by prominent elevations like Countrymans Bluff and Flahery Flat. This 2011 survey captures the drainage patterns south of the river, where numerous creeks and coulees define the topography. The terrain rises toward the south, marked by the long spine of Shane Ridge and the distinct peak of Wash Bowl Butte. The map illustrates a transition from the river valley to higher upland draws, including the suggestive Coal Mine Coulee and Hayrack Gulch. Local transportation is represented by rural routes such as Joliet Rd and Skibstad Rd, which navigate the complex network of tributaries like Tutt Creek and the bifurcated East Fork Shane Creek. This digital-era update provides a precise look at the land's contours and named natural features just outside of Columbus.
