2020 Map of Breed Spring

About this map

Flatwillow Cr winds through this section of Petroleum County, carving a drainage pattern that defines the local topography. This 2020 USGS survey documents the intersection of several seasonal waterways and significant terrain features, including Gorman Coulee and Anderson Coulee. The landscape is largely defined by its drainage network, with Box Elder Cr and N Maginnis Cr feeding into the larger system. While the area is dominated by the natural features of the Missouri River basin, human infrastructure is represented by Petrolia Bench Rd on the western edge of the quadrangle. The namesake Breed Spring appears in the northeast, serving as a critical point of interest for those tracking water resources or early ranching boundaries in this part of central Montana.
