2020 Map of Bear Creek Reservoir

About this map

Bear Creek Reservoir sits at the southern edge of this landscape, marking the transition between the rolling drainages of central Montana. The terrain is defined by a network of seasonal watercourses, including Blood Cr in the east and the winding path of Box Elder Cr, which cuts diagonally across the central sections. This map documents the boundary between Fergus and Petroleum counties as it existed in the early 21st century. The sparse infrastructure, limited primarily to Valentine Rd and Antelope Ln, reflects the open ranching and agricultural character of this region. Local history and genealogy researchers can use the detailed township and range divisions to pinpoint specific family landholdings near Antelope Cr or the various forks of Bear Cr that feed into the reservoir.
