2017 Map of Crow Rock

About this map

The high plains landscape of Crow Rock is defined by a dendritic network of intermittent drainages cutting through the eastern Montana terrain. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey shows a sparsely populated region where the county line between Garfield and Prairie counties bisects the map north-to-south. The area's geography is dominated by watercourses such as Ash Creek, Whites Creek, and Crow Rock Creek, which carve out the subtle relief of the ranching country. Human impact is primarily reflected in the road network, with naming conventions that suggest a more difficult past, including Dead Mans Road and Little Choke Butte Road. Long thoroughfares like Crow Rock Road and Cherry Creek Road serve as the primary lifelines through this expansive open territory.
