2014 Map of Clubfoot Creek

About this map

The high drainage basins of the Birney District are defined by a complex network of ephemeral forks and named springs that sustained ranching and transit in this portion of Rosebud County. Clubfoot Creek and Black Eagle Fork carve through the high ground, creating a landscape where water sources were the primary landmarks for early navigation. Named springs such as Elliot Spring, Heart Spring, and Rondeau Spring are scattered across the terrain, indicating the vital points of access for livestock and travelers. The road network is sparse, centered on the Cook Creek Rd and Ashland-Birney Rd, which follow the natural contours of the valley floors. Other notable watercourses like Saint Johns Fork and Mission Cr further illustrate the intricate hydrology of the eastern Montana uplands.
