2011 Map of Jordan NW

About this map

Garfield County ranching lands north of Jordan are defined by a network of seasonal watercourses and earthen dams in this 2011 survey. Named features such as Stinebaugh Number 1 Dam and B Murion Number 5 Dam reflect a landscape engineered to manage the intermittent flows of Bear Creek and Frazier Creek. These water management features are critical to the agricultural operations in this part of Montana, where the terrain is traversed by remote thoroughfares like Hell Creek Rd and Stinebaugh Rd. The presence of numerous numbered dams, including Stinebaugh Number 2 Dam and Murion B Number 4 Dam, illustrates the specific land ownership and resource development patterns of the area. This topographic record documents a vast, sparsely populated region where White Horse Creek and Vail Creek provide the primary drainage through the rolling breaks and plains.
