2014 Map of Belt NE

About this map

Big Willow Cr and its numerous tributaries, including N Willow Cr and Middle Willow Cr, define the drainage patterns of this high-plains landscape on the border of Cascade and Chouteau counties. The area is characterized by a network of rural routes that follow the natural contours of the drainages or provide access to remote upland sections. Significant local corridors like Little Belt Rd and the Belt Butte Cut Off suggest a landscape primarily utilized for ranching and large-scale agriculture. The presence of named landmarks such as Burley Hill Rd and Thibedeau Rd points to the long-standing family legacies and homesteading history of this portion of Montana, where the road network often terminates at private landholdings or remote creek crossings like Little Belt Cr.
