2024 Map of Bear Creek Reservoir

About this map

Bear Creek Reservoir serves as a central hydrological landmark at the boundary of Fergus and Petroleum counties. This central Montana landscape is defined by its drainage systems, where Antelope Creek and Blood Creek carve through the terrain of the Missouri River watershed. The map details a sparsely populated area where the primary human footprint is found in the section lines and limited road infrastructure, including Valentine Rd and Antelope Ln. The network of intermittent streams, such as Box Elder Creek and Bear Creek, illustrates the complex water management and natural drainage patterns essential for the ranching and agricultural operations that define this region's economy and settlement history.
