2017 Map of Bobcat Creek

About this map

Fort Peck Lake dominates this portion of the Missouri River country, its sprawling fingers forming Bear Creek Bay, Milk Coulee Bay, and Bobcat Bay along the boundary of McCone and Garfield counties. The shoreline is defined by a complex network of deep ravines and drainages, where named features such as Hilliard Coulee and Humphrey Coulee channel seasonal runoff into the reservoir. This modern survey illustrates the intersection of vast water infrastructure with the historic land management system of the Montana plains. Higher ground is marked by distinct landmarks like Indian Hill and Lucky Hill, while local travel is facilitated by rural corridors including Nickels Rd and Bobcat Creek Rd. The landscape reflects a transition from the elevated prairie breaks down to the submerged valleys of the river system.
