2020 Map of Duck Creek

About this map

Duck Cr and its various tributaries carve a meandering path across this prairie landscape along the border of Montana and North Dakota. This 2020 survey captures the sparsely populated ranching and agricultural country of Golden Valley County, where the road network follows a rigid section-line grid typical of the Great Plains. Named rural routes like Red Top East Rd, St Philip Rd, and Thelen Rd provide access to isolated homesteads and grazing lands. In the southern reaches, the Johnstone Dam manages water resources near Lonetree Cr, a vital feature in this arid environment. The map also documents the transition between Wibaux County, Montana, and Golden Valley County, North Dakota, with 171st Ave SW serving as a primary north-south artery along the state line.
