About this map

McGilvrey Creek and the East Fork Armells Creek drain this portion of Rosebud County, where the high plains landscape transitions into modern residential development. In the southern reach, Castle Rock Lake serves as a significant hydrologic feature, surrounded by a burgeoning network of streets including Cimarron Dr, Hollister Dr, and Browning Dr. This infrastructure suggests the late-20th-century expansion of residential clusters into historically open rangeland.

Evidence of more rural land use persists in the northern and western sections of the map, marked by drainage systems like Corral Creek and Stacker Creek. The presence of the Snider Subdivision Rd and various named springs, such as the uniquely identified 02N40E17ADAD01 Spring, indicates a landscape where water management and property division have shaped the local geography. The grid of the Public Land Survey System, including townships t2n r40e and t3n r41e, provides the underlying structure for these Montana holdings.
