About this map

Cinnamon Spring and the Martin and C Bar J Reservoir anchor this section of Wheatland County, where the plains give way to the foothills of the Lewis & Clark National Forest. The landscape is defined by a series of prominent rises including Coffin Butte and the long stretch of Jack Arthur Ridge, which serve as watersheds for a complex network of drainages. Numerous seasonal and perennial streams, such as Miller Creek, Station Creek, and Big Elk Creek, carve through the terrain, indicating the vital importance of water management in this ranching country.

Secondary roads like Miller Creek Rd and Big Elk Rd provide access to the remote draws and ridges. The presence of Willow Creek and Buzzard Creek in the south illustrates the typical drainage patterns of the Central Montana highlands. This map details the intersection of public forest lands and private holdings, revealing the enduring topographic character of a region where geography dictates the placement of every trail and reservoir.
