2014 Map of Bear Creek Reservoir

About this map

Bear Cr Reservoir serves as a central landmark in this high-plains landscape where the border between Fergus and Petroleum counties divides the drainage. The area is defined by its seasonal watercourses, with Bear Cr and Box Elder Cr winding through the terrain alongside other local drainages like Antelope Cr and Blood Cr. This 2014 survey documents a modern rural network of section lines and gravel roads, including Valentine Rd and Tullock Ln, which provide access to this ranching country. The transition from the more established county routes to specialized tracks like Kasier Resevoir Rd and Antelope Ln illustrates the sparse, working nature of the Central Montana prairie at the start of the twenty-first century.
