2011 Map of Ash Creek East

About this map

Fort Peck Lake dominates this portion of McCone County, creating a sprawling shoreline where the water meets the distinct drainage patterns of the Missouri River country. The landscape is defined by its coulees and basins, including the prominent Jawbone Coulee and Coyote Basin, which channel seasonal runoff toward the lake's eastern reaches. This modern survey reflects the geography of the early 21st century, illustrating how infrastructure like Road 217 and the CM Russell Dam integrate with the natural hydrology of Ash Creek and Rock Creek Bay. Historically significant watercourses such as Lost Creek and the forks of Box Creek, specifically N Fk Box Cr and S Fk Box Cr, continue to shape the terrain as they have for generations. Local features like Bell Coulee and CBC Spring Coulee provide precise points of reference for those studying the specific landforms of this prairie environment.
