2011 Map of Brush Mountain

About this map

Brush Mountain rises as the central topographic feature in this section of Williams County, shaping the drainage of numerous local waterways. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Brush Mountain Creek and its tributary, the East Fork Brush Mountain Creek, which flow through a grid of rural section-line roads such as 155th Ave NW and 74th St NW. Water management and natural hydrology are evident at Calvin Dam and the interestingly named Dead Horse Spring. In the southeast, the Chase Lake State Game Management Area occupies a significant portion of the terrain, centered around the Sweet Slough wetlands. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a precise view of the remote northern plains before extensive modern development altered the agricultural and wildlife patterns.
