2011 Map of Devils Pocket

About this map

Devils Pocket and the surrounding high plains of Wheatland County define this expansive landscape in the early twenty-first century. The map reveals a remote ranching and grazing environment where water management is critical for land use. Significant infrastructure like Cinnamon Number 2 Dam and Griffith Dam illustrate the efforts to capture seasonal runoff in this arid region, providing water for livestock or local agriculture. The topography is marked by distinctive landforms such as Wild Horse Butte, while the drainage patterns of Timber Creek and Fish Creek carve through the open country. A sparse network of secondary roads, including 12e102s, connects the disparate corners of this territory, reflecting the vast distances and isolated nature of Central Montana rural life.
