About this map

The Griffin Coulee drainage system defines this section of Rosebud County, Montana, where a complex network of seasonal and perennial waterways carves through the high plains. The landscape is dominated by the winding path of Armells Creek and its various tributaries, including the West Fork Armells Creek and the southern reaches of West Sheep Creek. These drainages serve as the primary geographical markers in a region characterized by expansive rangeland and intricate topography.

Transportation throughout the area relies on a limited network of remote corridors such as W Fork Armells Creek Rd and Armells Cr Rd, which follow the natural contours of the stream valleys. To the west, the headwaters of East Fork Reservation Creek and the diverging paths of West Cromo Creek and East Cromo Creek illustrate the radial drainage patterns typical of this Montana terrain, offering researchers a clear look at the hydrologic layout of the land prior to modern developments.
