2024 Map of Dry Blood Creek West

About this map

Dry Blood Creek defines the northern reaches of this Petroleum County landscape, where the terrain transitions across the Welter Divide Rd. This area is characterized by the intricate drainage systems of Box Elder Creek and Fords Creek, which carve through the high plains of central Montana. The map provides a clear look at the rural infrastructure of the early 21st century, dominated by a grid of township lines including t17n r26e and t16n r25e. Though sparse in settlements, the inclusion of specific water sources like a lone Spring and local thoroughfares such as Nunn Rd highlights the vital importance of water and access in this ranching country. For researchers, these features offer a precise record of land division and natural landmarks in one of the state's most lightly populated counties.
