2011 Map of Dry Fork Creek

About this map

Dry Fork Creek and the West Fork Porcupine Creek define the drainage of this Valley County landscape. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates a sparsely populated section of the Montana prairie, where the terrain is marked more by its natural hydrology than by dense settlement. The rural character of the region is evident in the straightforward grid of county routes, including Golden Valley Rd and Fuhrman Rd, which provide access across the open ranching or farming country. Unlike more developed quads, this area remains dominated by its namesake watercourse and the surrounding topography. Local family names or ranching history are echoed in smaller roads like W Meadowlark Rd and Elde Rd, providing specific geographic markers for genealogists or land researchers focused on this northeastern Montana district.
