About this map

The high plains of eastern Montana meet at the triple junction of Yellowstone, Rosebud, and Treasure Counties in this modern topographic survey. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems, where Indian Cr and Injun Cr carve deep paths through the northern sections, while Alkali Cr and Weed Cr dominate the south. This area represents the open ranching country of the Big Horn Basin, where named terrain features like Muggins Taylor Flat and Ruskosky Ridge provide significant orientation points across the undulating topography.

Evidence of historical passage and contemporary access is centered on Butte Camp Rd, which cuts through the southeastern corner of the map. The intricate contour lines reveal the complex network of draws and coulees, most notably Stove Coulee, which highlight the erosional patterns characteristic of this part of the state. This map provides a clear record of the cadastral boundaries and water sources essential to understanding the land use patterns in this rural corner of Montana.
