2011 Map of Crowley Dam

About this map

Alkali Creek and Howard Creek define the drainage patterns of this Petroleum County landscape, where water management is central to the local geography. The area is marked by significant hydraulic infrastructure, including the Crowley Dam and its counterparts, Wiggins Number 2 Dam and Wiggins Number 3 Dam. These features illustrate the vital role of water storage in this part of Montana, supporting agricultural or ranching needs across the open terrain. Transportation is limited to a sparse network of rural routes such as Kelley Rd and Kelly Rd, which provide access through the creek valleys and across the higher ground between the dam sites.
