2024 Map of Bloom Creek

About this map

Custer National Forest defines the high ground of this landscape, where a series of small-scale water management features such as Rimrock Reservoir, Bull Reservoir, and Swope Reservoir suggest the vital importance of seasonal water storage for local ranching operations. The terrain is deeply incised by the drainage systems of Bloom Creek and the Powder River, which snakes through the southern portion of the quadrangle. Transport in this corner of Powder River County is facilitated by the winding paths of Moorehead Rd and Bloom Creek Rd, which trace the natural contours of the ridges and valleys. Other notable landmarks including Wolf Den Spring and Dutch Gulch indicate a landscape shaped both by natural erosive forces and the practical needs of those working the land in this part of Montana.
