2024 Map of Hopley Creek North

About this map

Nelson Reservoir and the drainage network of Hopley Creek define this agricultural and ranching landscape in Wheatland County. The terrain is marked by significant topographical depressions such as Big Coulee and Dresback Coulee, which channel seasonal runoff toward larger water bodies like Alkali Creek and Mexican John Creek. The grid-based road network, including Jellison Rd and Jenkins Rd, reflects the section-line planning typical of Montana's high plains, providing access to the isolated farmsteads and agricultural plots that dominate the township. Named for the surrounding water systems, the area shows a clear reliance on local hydrology, with Farmers Field Rd cutting through the heart of the productive valley between East Fork Hopley Creek and its main branch.
