2011 Map of Cinnamon Peak

About this map

Cinnamon Peak rises over a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainage systems in Wheatland County. This 2011 survey shows the high-elevation terrain of the Lewis and Clark National Forest, where numerous creeks including Little Elk Creek, Lost Horse Creek, and West Fork Miller Creek carve through the foothills. The presence of the Pump Ranch in the northeast and the Twelvemile Coulee Dam to the south suggests a landscape managed for cattle and water resources. The detailed topography illustrates how water sources like Bear Spring and seasonal runs such as Buzzard Creek and Willow Creek dictate the layout of backcountry roads like 12W 885A Rd. This record provides researchers with a view of modern land use and forest boundaries in a rugged portion of the Montana range.
