About this map

Water management and drainage systems define this section of Powder River County, where the landscape is etched by a complex network of draws and creeks. The hydrology of the area is heavily modified by a series of impoundments, most notably the three-part system of Deer Creek Reservoir Number One, Number Two, and Number Three along the length of Deer Creek. These reservoirs, along with Schiller Reservoir and Sartin Draw Reservoir, indicate the critical role of water storage for ranching or land management in this arid Montana environment.

Named springs such as Main Ash Spring, Cabin Creek Spring, and Beaver Creek Spring mark vital natural water sources scattered across the terrain. Human presence is further recorded through infrastructure like Beaver Creek Rd and Wiltse Rd, which provide access to the various draws including Sartin Draw and Funnel Draw. The map meticulously tracks the seasonal and permanent waterways, from the prominent Beaver Creek to smaller tributaries like Ash Creek and Maxwell Creek, offering a detailed view of the regional drainage patterns as they existed in the early 21st century.
