About this map

Morland Ranch sits at the intersection of a vast network of drainages and seasonal water sources in this pocket of Rosebud County. The landscape is defined by the convergence of major forks including Clubfoot Creek, Black Eagle Fork, and Cook Creek, which carve through the terrain. Evidence of water management in this arid environment is visible at the Cheyenne Number 4 Dam, while numerous named springs like Rondeau Spring and B Heart Spring mark essential landmarks across the northern reaches.

Remote transportation routes such as Cook Creek Rd and HWY 4 follow the natural contours of the valley floors, providing the primary access through the region. The high number of named springs, including Elliot Spring and Canyon Spring, suggests a landscape where localized water sources were vital for the ranching operations that characterize this part of Montana. This survey provides a clear view of the drainage patterns for Birney Creek, Tie Creek, and Mission Creek as they existed in the early twenty-first century.
