About this map

South Pine Oil Field dominates the northern reaches of this landscape, illustrating the industrial footprint on the rural Montana plains during the early twenty-first century. The terrain is defined by a dendritic drainage pattern where Cabin Creek and Horse Creek converge, creating a network of seasonal watercourses that include Cow Creek and Ash Creek. These waterways dictate the local geography, with roads like Cabin Creek Rd and Anticline Rd following the contours of the land. This survey provides a clear look at the intersection of energy extraction and the natural watershed, documenting the access routes and infrastructure required to maintain operations within the Cedar Creek drainage basin. The map captures a moment of modern land use where traditional ranching territory and resource development coexist across a vast, open topography.
