About this map

Lewis & Clark National Forest anchors the northern boundary of this central Montana landscape, where the high plains transition into the foothills. The drainage pattern is defined by a dense network of coulees and creeks that carve through the Wheatland County terrain. Major waterways like Daisy Dean Creek and its tributary, Dry Fork Daisy Dean Creek, cut through the western sections, while the eastern reaches are marked by Trombone Creek and the long descent of Clarks Fork Morrisy Coulee. The topography reveals a land primarily shaped by seasonal water runoff, with features like Bornhart Coulee and Iron Springs Coulee illustrating the erosional history of the region. This survey captures a modern look at the open ranch lands and the complex hydrological network that supports the local cattle industry and wildlife habitats on the edge of the national forest.
