2011 Map of Cat Creek

About this map

The settlement of Cat Creek defines this quiet corner of Petroleum County, situated within a landscape carved by the meandering drainage of the eponymous Cat Creek. This 2011 survey documents a sparsely populated ranching and petroleum region in central Montana, where the road network consists primarily of essential routes like Cat Creek Rd and Jitney Rd. The terrain is characterized by intricate coulees and drainage patterns that feed into the main waterway, illustrating the environmental constraints that have historically dictated the placement of homesteads and infrastructure. For those researching the geography of the Montana petroleum industry or local family landholdings, the map provides a precise account of the modern surface features and administrative boundaries in this isolated prairie setting.
