2015 Map of Devils Run

About this map

The Belle Fourche River snakes through the borderlands of Montana and Wyoming, carving a path through the high plains and industrial corridors of Carter and Crook counties. This 2015 survey documents a landscape defined by water management and mineral extraction, centered on the broad expanse of Stoneville Flats and the prominent rising of Green Mtn. Local infrastructure is heavily influenced by the bentonite industry, evidenced by specialized transit routes like Bentonite Haul Rd and Bentonite Rd that cut across the drainage of Devils Run. Numerous ranching and industrial impoundments dot the terrain, including Newby Creek Reservoir and King Number 1 Reservoir. The confluence of regional roads such as Little Missouri Rd and Ridinger Rd underscores the connectivity between remote ranching districts in this corner of the West.
