2024 Map of Cotton Creek

About this map

Pompeys Pillar Creek and Cotton Creek define this drainage basin in Yellowstone County, Montana, where a complex network of seasonal watercourses and irrigation infrastructure supports the regional landscape. The presence of the Association Canal and Billings Bench Water in the southern portion of the sheet highlights the importance of water management in this high-plains environment. Transportation through the area relies on a series of local connectors and trails, including Sand Rock Rd and Otis Creek Rd, which provide access to the dissected terrain. A modern trail network, featuring routes like Pleasant Hollow Trl and Peaceful Plateau Trl, indicates a modern shift toward recreational use of the land alongside traditional ranching or agricultural divisions marked by the Public Land Survey System boundaries like t4n r28e.
