About this map

Cochran Reservoir lies at the heart of this ranching landscape in Carter County, where a network of seasonal watercourses and topographic draws defines the local geography. The map reveals a complex drainage pattern branching from Willow Creek, including the Middle Fork Willow Creek and South Fork Willow Creek. Evidence of significant erosion and the movement of water across the plains is captured in names like Nelson Washout and the various named depressions such as Zimmerman Draw and Torgerson Draw.

Transport and access are facilitated by rural routes like Alzada Ridge Rd and Us-212, which cuts across the northern edge of the survey area. This 2014 representation of the Cochran Reservoir Quadrangle provides a clear view of the modern land divisions and watershed management in a remote corner of Montana, where the terrain is marked by both natural features and the infrastructure of range management.
