About this map

Womans Pocket dominates this mid-1980s landscape in Golden Valley County, where the high Montana plains are defined by intermittent water sources and dramatic topographical depressions. The terrain is marked by a network of seasonal drainages including Currant Creek and Alkali Creek, both carving through the northern and western reaches of the quadrangle. Sparse but vital water resources appear as scattered Springs and a large Dry Lake bed, illustrating the arid conditions of this ranching region. The presence of a prominent Pipeline and several marked Well locations across the southern portion of Pocket suggests the area's integration into larger energy or livestock infrastructure, typical of the rural development patterns in this part of the state during the late 20th century.
