2014 Map of Cotton Creek

About this map

Pompeys Pillar Cr drains the high country of Yellowstone County in this 2014 topographic study, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of intermittent drainage and upland divides. The territory is dominated by the basin of Cotton Creek, including its significant northern tributary, N Fork Cotton Cr. This environment of coulees and ridges is navigated by a system of rural routes and trails that suggest a pattern of ranching and land management. Distinctive pathways like the Pleasant Hollow Trl and Peaceful Plateau Trl skirt the topography, while Lambert Trail Rd and Otis Creek Rd provide vital access points through the township sections of T4N R28E and T3N R27E. The map detail reflects a modern era of precise surveying, showing the intricate relationship between the watershed and the local road network, including the courses of Razor Cr and Rock Cr.
