2020 Map of Clubfoot Creek

About this map

Clubfoot Cr and its complex network of tributaries define this part of Rosebud County, where the landscape is marked by numerous named water sources essential for life in the high plains. The drainage system is anchored by Black Eagle Fork and Saint Johns Fork, which feed into larger regional basins. For those studying the history of land use and ranching in the Birney District, the prevalence of sites like Rondeau Spring, B Heart Spring, and Elliot Spring indicates the critical importance of reliable water in this terrain. Connectivity across the territory is maintained by the Cook Creek Rd and the Ashland-Birney Rd, which follow the natural contours of the drainages, linking these remote drainages to the larger trade routes of southeastern Montana.
