2020 Map of Bug Creek

About this map

Fort Peck Lake and its intricate northern shoreline dominate this McCone County landscape, where the Dry Arm creates a complex network of bays and inlets. The terrain is characterized by high-relief breaks and plateaus, most notably Lonnies Bench and the prominent Bonin Divide. This modern survey illustrates how water management and natural drainage patterns define the region, with Bug Creek Bay and Black Spring Coulee Bay carving deep into the prairie. Local land use is reflected in the network of secondary roads such as RD 218 and E Rock Creek Rd, which provide access across the coulees and passes. Names like Wild Horse Pass and Daniels Point hint at the storied transit and lookout points used by generations of ranchers and travelers moving through these breaks.
