About this map

The Blackfoot Valley Conservation Area dominates this section of Powell County, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of mountain drainages. Water management is a central feature of the local geography, notably the presence of the Number Five Ditch and numerous springs like 12N12W11BBDG01-Spring. These features, alongside McElwain Creek and Douglas Creek, suggest a history of water rights and ranching infrastructure within the valley.

Local access is facilitated by a grid of named roads including Mud Creek Rd, Mock Rd, and Chimney Lakes Rd, which wind through the township boundaries of T13N and T12N. The southeastern corner is anchored by the Chimney Lakes, situated near the confluence of Chimney Creek and Mud Creek. This 2024 survey provides a modern view of the physical terrain and public land boundaries that have shaped the development of this Montana valley.
