2024 Map of Lawrence Creek West

About this map

Pennel Creek and its complex network of seasonal tributaries define this expansive section of Fallon County, Montana. The landscape is characterized by a dense system of coulees and ridges, where several key waterways such as Dry Fork Creek and Horse Creek have carved out a rugged topography typical of the high plains. Human presence is marked by a handful of section-line roads and trails, including Plevna Rd N and Dry Fork Rd, which facilitate movement through the townships of t9n r57e and t10n r57e. The map illustrates the classic western land-grid system, where the township and range lines overlay the natural flow of Cow Creek and Lawrence Creek, highlighting the tension between geometric settlement patterns and the winding path of prairie drainage systems.
