About this map

Lewis & Clark National Forest lands dominate the southwestern portion of this Wheatland County landscape, where the terrain transitions into the high elevations of Jack Arthur Ridge. The drainage network is particularly dense here, characterized by numerous seasonal and perennial flows including Cinnamon Cr, Big Elk Cr, and Station Cr. These watercourses carve through a topography marked by distinctive landforms like Coffin Butte in the north.

Water management in this arid environment is evident at the Martin and C Bar J Reservoir and the namesake Cinnamon Spring. A sparse network of ranch and access roads, such as Big Elk Rd and Top Hat Ln, provides the primary movement through these vast townships. The map illustrates a classic Montana ranching landscape, where named ridges and springs serve as vital landmarks for navigation and land use across the rugged breaks.
