2017 Map of Hunters Creek

About this map

Hunters Reservoir and the nearby Jones Reservoir serve as central water sources in this dry Carbon County landscape. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems, including the prominent Weatherman Draw and Little Cottonwood Draw, which cut through the high plains. Movement through this section of the Montana borderlands is dictated by seasonal watercourses like Cottonwood Cr and Hunters Cr, which follow the natural contours of the land toward Castle Coulee. This 2017 survey reveals a landscape largely shaped by grazing and water management, where named passes like Bobcat Pass and isolated roads like Cottonwood Rd provide the only reliable access through the township and range grids.
