2017 Map of Knudson Draw

About this map

Selway Spring and Church Spring dot a drainage-rich landscape in this corner of southeastern Montana, marking the vital water sources that shaped settlement and grazing patterns. The terrain is defined by a series of deep cuts including Quaking Aspen Draw, Pentecost Draw, and the eponymous Knudson Draw, all feeding toward larger watercourses like Crow Cr and the W Fork Boxelder Cr. Following the natural contours of the land, the unpaved Crow Creek Rd and Hammond Rd provide the primary transit through these townships, which span the boundary of Powder River and Carter Counties. This map documents a high-plains environment where the hydrology of isolated springs and seasonal creeks remains the most critical factor for local life and land use.
