About this map

Stockett and Giffen are the primary settlements in this region of Cascade County, where the high plains are deeply carved by a network of drainage channels known as coulees. The landscape is defined by its agricultural and mining heritage, with names like Mining Coulee, Number Five Coulee, and Creamery Hill suggesting the historical industries that once sustained these communities. The topography is varied, featuring prominent elevations such as Red Butte and Powderhouse Hill, which overlook the winding paths of Cottonwood Cr and Sand Coulee Cr.

Transport through the area follows established routes like MT-227 and Stockett Rd, connecting the scattered homesteads and landmarks. Local history is anchored at the Cottonwood Cem, while physical geography is marked by the distinct flat-topped Dutch Bench to the southeast. The intricate contour lines reveal a terrain of steep draws and level plateaus, reflecting the characteristic geography of central Montana.
