2011 Map of Belt NE

About this map

Big Willow Creek and its many tributaries, including North Willow Creek, Middle Willow Creek, and Little Belt Creek, define the drainage patterns of this central Montana landscape. The rural character of the area is underscored by the Willow Creek Ranch and infrastructure like the Willow Belt Dam. A network of local ranch roads connects the territory, with named routes like Belt Butte Cutoff Rd and Little Belt Rd providing access to the higher elevations and creek bottoms. This 2011 survey, produced by the U.S. Geological Survey, reflects the modern topography of a ranching region where the water network remains the primary structural element of the land.
