2011 Map of Coalwood

About this map

Coalwood sits at the heart of this high plains landscape in Powder River County, where the topography is defined by an intricate network of drainages. The area's ranching and industrial character is evident through features like the North Star Mine and the R-Janssen Number 1 Dam on Hay Creek. Water remains the primary shaper of the terrain, with names like Lost Soldier Creek, Double Corral Creek, and Mud Spring Creek suggesting the historical movement of livestock and travelers across these Montana breaks. The distinct elevation of Twin Buttes serves as a prominent landmark in an otherwise undulating prairie, while the presence of Williams Lane Rd provides one of the few developed corridors through the drainage basins of Johnson Creek and Lake Creek.
