About this map

Nelson Reservoir sits at the heart of this central Montana landscape, capturing runoff in a region defined by its complex drainage network. The terrain is deeply carved by water, featuring the prominent Big Coulee and Dresback Coulee, which dictate the local topography across Wheatland County. The map details a web of seasonal and perennial waterways, including the winding Hopley Cr and its E Fork Hopley Cr, alongside the southern-reaching Mexican John Cr.

Rural infrastructure is mapped through a series of local thoroughfares such as Jellison Rd and Farmers Field Rd, reflecting the ranching and agricultural framework of the township and range system. This 2020 survey illustrates how modern property boundaries and access routes like Access Rd and Jenkins Rd interface with the natural coulees and creeks that have long shaped navigation and land use in this part of the state.
