About this map

Devils Hole Lake anchors the southern portion of this landscape in Musselshell County, where the topography is defined by an intricate network of seasonal and perennial watercourses. The drainage patterns of Willow Creek, Minerva Creek, and Whoop-Up Creek illustrate the hydrologic character of the region, while the Snowy Mountain Dam on Pole Creek represents the 21st-century water management infrastructure in this arid part of Montana.

Snowy Mountain Rd provides the primary transit through the east, connecting the higher elevations to the drainages below. The map captures a high-plains environment where water is the primary landmark, from the winding path of Dry Creek to the secluded namesake lake, offering a detailed look at the rural section lines and hydrological features that have dictated land use in this corner of the state.
