2011 Map of Box Elder Creek

About this map

Box Elder Creek and Pumpkin Creek dominate this corner of Powder River County, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of seasonal drainage and prairie waterways. The terrain is marked by multiple instances of Spring Creek and other distinct water features like Sand Coulee and Sally Creek, which carve through the high plains. Movement through this sparsely populated ranching country follows a limited grid of local access routes, including Camp Creek Rd and Lockwood Rd. These roads often track the natural course of the valleys, particularly where Camp Creek and Rough Creek descend toward the larger basins. The drainage pattern, including Dwyer Creek and Squaw Creek, illustrates the complex topography of the Montana rangeland before it meets the larger river systems of the region.
