2011 Map of Bearshack Creek

About this map

Tusler Creek Oyargers and Pardies Dam and Schwartz Dam anchor the hydrology of this McCone County drainage system in the early 21st century. The landscape is defined by the branching network of Tusler Creek and Bearshack Creek, with their various tributaries like North Fork Tusler Creek and South Fork Tusler Creek carving into the plains. The terrain rises to the Lower Summit in the northeast, overlooking a network of unpaved access ways including Prairie Rd and Union Rd. This map illustrates the specialized infrastructure of eastern Montana ranching and water management, where named dams and long-established creek forks dictate the use of the land. It provides a clear record of the watershed near Middle Fork Bad Route Creek and Pasture Creek, showing the subtle topography and water storage features essential to this region.
