2011 Map of Jim Creek

About this map

Jim Creek and Potato Creek dominate this central Montana landscape, where a dense network of watercourses defines the agricultural and ranching potential of the region. The map illustrates a classic Great Plains drainage pattern, with Tony Creek, Antelope Creek, and Fish Creek carving paths through the terrain. The presence of rural routes such as Sourdough Rd, Hanson Rd, and Cooney Rd provides essential context for local family history and land use in this part of Wheatland County. Unlike earlier surveys, this 2011 edition shows the modern road network, including Ny Creek Rd and Berg Rd, which connect the isolated homesteads and grazing lands. The topography is meticulously detailed by the U.S. Geological Survey, showing how these creeks converge and shape the local geography south of the Musselshell River basin.
