2024 Map of Gilbert Creek SE

About this map

Gilbert Creek and its surrounding drainage systems define this sparsely settled portion of Garfield County. The landscape is marked by the branching headwaters of Flat Creek, Woody Creek, and Pass Creek, which carve out a network of seasonal watercourses and coulees across the high plains. Human presence is indicated primarily by the grid of the Public Land Survey System and a few remote thoroughfares such as Haxby Rd and New Flat Cr Rd. These roads often follow the natural contours of the terrain, providing access to the deep interior of the Montana backcountry. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the broad basin of Redbank Coulee, a significant geographical feature in this dry, rolling environment. This survey provides a clear view of the complex hydrography and basic road infrastructure in a region where the natural topography remains the primary influence on movement and land use.
