2014 Map of Belle Creek South

About this map

Belle Creek Oil Field dominates the northwest corner of this landscape, marking the intersection of the region's energy economy with its cattle-grazing tradition. The terrain is defined by the drainage networks of Belle Cr, Ranch Cr, and Thompson Cr, which carve through the high plains along the border of Powder River Co and Carter Co. This is a sparsely populated area where the infrastructure—primarily unpaved routes like Ridge-Alzada Rd and Alzada Ridge Rd—follows the high ground between creek beds.
