About this map

Rattlesnake Butte overlooks a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainage systems along the border of Treasure and Rosebud Counties. This 2014 survey captures a rural Montana terrain where water management is central to the land's utility, anchored by Haines Reservoir in the north and the spring-fed Woods Water to the south. The area is dissected by numerous named coulees, including the evocative Whiskey Coulee, Deveny Coulee, and Cache Coulee, which channel seasonal runoff toward larger systems like Sarpy Cr.

Infrastructure is minimal in this reach of the Big Horn Basin, with Mt-384 providing the primary north-south transit corridor through the western portion of the map. The geography here is a classic representation of the eastern Montana rangelands, where water features like Corral Cr and Hay Cr dictate the placement of local landmarks and boundaries. Researchers of regional history will find a clear record of land divisions across townships T4N through T6N, illustrating the sparse but organized settlement pattern of the early 21st century.
