About this map

The Yellowstone River cuts through the northern reach of this Montana landscape, where the high plains of Stillwater and Carbon Counties meet. This 2014 survey documents a transition from the river valley floor at Flaherty Flat and Countrymans Bluff to the prominent rising landform of Shane Ridge in the south. The terrain is deeply incised by numerous drainages including Bearpaw Cr, Tufft Cr, and Coal Mine Coulee, reflecting a complex hydrology that has shaped the local geography.

Rural connectivity is defined by historical routes like Old US-10 and MT-421, while the development of Stillwater Estates Dr suggests modern residential growth within a traditionally agricultural and ranching area. Geologic landmarks such as Wash Bowl Butte and Hayrack Gulch provide specific points of reference for land use studies or local history research. The detailed mapping of small roads such as Sharptail Ridge Rd and Morning Glory Ln offers a clear view of the contemporary settlement patterns across this high-altitude terrain.
