2017 Map of Colstrip West

About this map

Colstrip serves as the focal point of this western Rosebud County landscape, appearing here as it was established in the late 2010s. The settlement pattern is defined by modern residential streets such as Woodrose St and Cherry St, alongside the newer residential layout of Snider Subdivision Rd to the north. A significant portion of the area's geography is shaped by the drainage systems of McGilvrey Cr, E Fork Armells Cr, and Stocker Cr, which carve through the terrain. To the south, Castle Rock Lake is a prominent water feature, bordered by Castle Rock Lake Dr. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the town's expansion and its relationship with the surrounding plains and creeks, documenting the specific road networks like Pinebutte Dr and Stillwater Rd that connect this mining-influenced community to the broader Montana territory.
