2024 Map of Craig Reservoir

About this map

Larb Creek carves a winding path through the heart of this Valley County landscape, defining a terrain shaped by long, deeply etched drainage systems. This 2024 survey captures the sophisticated water management of this ranching and grazing region, where significant catchments such as Korman Reservoir and the central McCuin Reservoir serve as critical landmarks for local land use. The topography is dominated by a series of prominent coulees—including Black Coulee and Grant Coulee—that illustrate the erosional patterns common to the Montana plains. Running roughly parallel to the primary waterway, Larb Creek Rd provides the singular modern artery through the region, connecting isolated points across the township lines. The presence of Craig Reservoir and the namesake Craig Coulee in the southern reaches highlights the localized naming conventions typical of early land claimants and homesteaders in the area.
