2020 Map of Cotton Creek

About this map

Cotton Creek and its north fork carve through this Yellowstone County landscape, where the drainage patterns of the northern plains define the local geography. The area is characterized by several intermittent waterways, including Pompeys Pillar Cr and Razor Creek, which move through an open terrain of sections and township lines. Named trails such as Peaceful Plateau Trl and Pleasant Hollow Trl suggest a modern residential or recreational footprint amidst the traditional ranching and agricultural grid. The network of local routes, including Sand Rock Rd and Otis Creek Rd, provides access to these high plains drainage basins. This 2020 record serves as a contemporary baseline for land use in a region historically dominated by wide-open spaces and rural section-line development.
