2017 Map of Hay Creek

About this map

Hay Creek winds through the eastern plains of the Brockton District in Roosevelt County, defining a landscape shaped by intermittent drainage and the rectilinear grid of the Public Land Survey System. The terrain is characterized by its distinct depressions and coulees, including Swank Coulee in the western portion of the quadrangle and Kirns Coulee to the south. This 2017 survey illustrates the sparse, rural infrastructure of the Montana-Roosevelt Co. borderlands, where a network of section-line roads like RD 2041 and RY RD provide the primary access through the townships of T31N and T32N. The absence of concentrated settlements emphasizes the agricultural and open-range character of this Missouri River basin hinterland during the early 21st century.
