About this map

Chalk Butte stands as a prominent landmark in this section of Big Horn County, Montana, anchoring a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainage systems and artificial water storage. This 2024 survey details a high-plains environment where water management is central to the land's utility, evidenced by several named catchments including Liming Reservoir, Brown Reservoir, and Halfway Reservoir. These features, alongside the Chalk Butte Reservoir, suggest a reliance on managed water sources in an area characterized by seasonal or intermittent flow.

The topographic detail highlights the convergence of several significant watercourses, most notably Owl Creek and Little Owl Creek in the northern reaches, and the various branches of Pine Creek, such as Lone Pine Creek and Middle Pine Creek, to the south. The transition from the rugged relief around the butte to the more gradual slopes near Halfway Creek and Dry Beaver Creek illustrates the complex erosion patterns of the Montana plains.
