2011 Map of Dry Blood Creek East

About this map

Dry Blood Creek and its southern fork dominate this section of Petroleum County, where the landscape is defined by an extensive network of water management features. The topography reveals a series of named earthen dams, including the Dry Blood Dam, Brady Number 4 Dam, and the Resettlement FSA Number 3 Dam, the latter of which points to the federal legacy of the Farm Security Administration's land utilization projects in Montana. Local transit is facilitated by rural routes such as Dovetail Rd and Valentine Rd, which cross the drainage basins of South Fork Dry Blood Creek and Brush Creek. In the northeast corner, the terrain drops toward Carter Coulee, illustrating the distinctive coulee formations common to the region's semi-arid rangeland.
