2011 Map of Creedman Coulee West

About this map

Creedman Reservoir and its associated water management structures dominate the high plains landscape of Hill County near the Canadian border. This 2011 survey illustrates a sparse, working landscape defined by water storage and intermittent drainages, where engineering is essential to the local environment. Multiple barriers, including Creedman Dam, Creedman Number 2 Dam, and the distinctively named Sassy Top Deck Dam, manage the flow through this semi-arid region. Local topography is punctuated by Signal Butte, a significant landmark for navigation and orientation across the open terrain. Transport is limited to a grid of rural routes such as Simpson Rd and Amos Trl, which connect the scattered agricultural and ranching operations characteristic of the Montana-Saskatchewan frontier.
