2011 Map of Dutchmans Hill

About this map

Dutchmans Hill stands as the primary landmark in this drainage-rich corner of Fallon County. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including Hagen Creek and Fletcher Creek to the north, while Horse Creek and Coal Creek dominate the southern half of the quadrangle. Human impact on the hydrology is evident through structures such as Nies Dam and Jardee Dam, which manage water resources in an otherwise arid region. Grounded by Mill Iron Rd in the southwest, the map reveals a sparsely settled area where water sources like Reynolds Spring were essential for livestock and local survival. This 2011 survey illustrates the continued importance of creek-side geography for defining land use and navigation in eastern Montana.
