2024 Map of Coalwood

About this map

Coalwood serves as the primary focal point of this remote ranching and grazing region in the southeastern corner of Montana. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, where seasonal waterways like Hay Creek and Mud Spring Creek carve through the high plains. A prominent topographical feature, Twin Buttes, rises above the surrounding terrain, providing a natural landmark for those navigating the rural road system, which includes Lockwood Rd and Hay Creek Rd. The map illustrates a pattern of land use centered on water access, with creek beds such as Lost Soldier Creek and Double Corral Creek dictated by the local topography. This document records the essential connectivity of the modern era, showing how named thoroughfares like Soldier Creek Rd and Camp Creek Rd continue to link isolated homesteads and ranching tracts across the wide expanses of Powder River County.
