2014 Map of Belle Creek SW

About this map

Belle Creek Oil Field dominates the southeastern quadrant of this terrain, signifying the industrial activity that has long shaped the Powder River County landscape near the Montana-Wyoming border. This high-plains region is defined by a network of drainage systems, including S Fork Wright Cr and Ranch Cr, which carve through the land between localized ridges. Human presence is sparse but historically significant, anchored by the settlement of Biddle in the northwest and the Ranch Creek Cem situated along the secondary road Mt-544. The survey details a landscape where traditional ranching and modern energy extraction coexist, connected by unpaved routes like Garst Rd. Further south, the map follows the course of Prairie Dog Cr, providing a look at the essential water sources that have sustained local operations in this corner of the state.
