2024 Map of Knudson Draw

About this map

Selway Spring and Church Spring provide vital water points in this arid expanse of southeastern Montana, marking the high-plains landscape where the Powder River and Carter County line intersects. The drainage network is defined by the winding paths of Boxelder Creek and its western fork, cutting through a topography of named ravines like Kuster Canyon and the namesake Knudson Draw. Isolated roads such as Crow Creek Rd and Hammond Rd suggest the long-standing ranching routes and remote transit ways typical of this region's rural character. The map illustrates a classic Great Plains terrain where seasonal waterways like Lightning Creek and Coyote Creek dictate the movement of both people and livestock across the rugged breaks.
