2011 Map of Lawrence Creek East

About this map

The Cabin Creek Oil Field and surrounding energy infrastructure define this part of Fallon County, Montana, during the early 21st century. The map illustrates a landscape shaped by petroleum extraction, featuring the South Wills Creek Oil Field and the Monarch Oil Field situated among the drainage basins of the Yellowstone River tributary system. Water management is central to the area's geography, evidenced by the Leo Number 2 Dam and a network of seasonal watercourses including Lawrence Creek, Dry Fork Creek, and the Middle Fork Cabin Creek. Local transit and access to these remote resource fields are provided by arterial routes such as Plevna Rd and Anticline Rd, which follow the contours of the high plains terrain. This document captures the industrial footprint of eastern Montana's oil economy integrated into a predominantly rural, hydrological landscape.
