2017 Map of Diamond G Creek

About this map

Diamond G Creek flows through the heart of this Montana landscape, where the boundary between Dawson Co and Prairie Co cuts through a network of drainages and ranch roads. The terrain is defined by a complex system of watercourses including Cottonwood Cr, Brackett Cr, and the distinctive Mcquoid Coulee. Transportation across this prairie environment is anchored by Bad Route Rd and O'Neill Rd, which provide access to the remote sections of Township 14 North and Township 13 North. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents the subtle but critical hydrography of the region, where ephemeral features like Dickoff Coulee and Dry Cr carve into the high plains. Researchers can trace the intersection of historical land divisions and modern infrastructure in this sparsely populated portion of eastern Montana.
