1986 Map of Timber Buttes North

About this map

Dry Pole Creek and its southern counterpart Pole Creek define the drainage patterns across this section of Musselshell County. The landscape is characterized by its intermittent water sources, where topographic depressions like Dry Lake and the Des Moines Lakes suggest a seasonal cycle of water retention. Toward the southwestern corner, the terrain rises significantly at the Timber Buttes, providing a stark contrast to the surrounding flats. Human activity is sparsely marked by a few utility features such as a Well and a Ditch, alongside scattered Springs, indicating the critical nature of water management in this arid environment during the mid-1980s. This survey, compiled from 1970s aerial photography, captures a moment before modern development altered the ranching and natural landscape of central Montana.
