2024 Map of Barr Creek

About this map

The Blackfoot Valley Conservation Area dominates this landscape along the border of Teton and Lewis and Clark counties. This 2024 map documents a complex hydrological network where the Sun River meets the mountains, managed through features like the Willow Creek Feeder Canal. The terrain is defined by the prominent Black Butte in the southwest, rising above a series of drainage systems including Barr Creek, Rose Creek, and the North Fork Willow Creek. Local transportation is limited to a few established corridors such as Sun Canyon Rd and Rose Creek Rd, reflecting the conserved, transitional nature of this Rocky Mountain front area. The map illustrates how public land management and water diversion projects have shaped this portion of the Montana landscape.
