2011 Map of Indian Creek

About this map

Sweeney Creek meanders through this section of Rosebud County, Montana, carving a complex drainage network that defines the local landscape. In this early 21st-century survey, the environment is marked by essential water management infrastructure, notably Nielsen Dam, Fleming Number 2 Dam, and Hunt Number 2 Dam. These features suggest a landscape managed for ranching or local agriculture in a semi-arid region where water retention is critical. The map traces the paths of several seasonal and perennial waterways, including Indian Creek, Buffalo Creek, and the headwaters of Twelvemile Creek. Transportation is limited to functional rural corridors such as Sweeney Creek Rd and Butte Creek Rd, which provide access to the remote terrain and connect scattered points of interest across the quadrangle.
