2011 Map of Lingshire NW

About this map

Sheep Creek forms a central drainage through this Meagher County landscape, where the high-plains terrain is deeply carved by a network of watercourses. The hydrology of the region is defined by the convergence of the North Fork Freeman Creek and South Fork Freeman Creek, which merge into Freeman Creek in the southeastern portion of the map. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates a sparsely populated ranching territory where local landmarks like Mowing Machine Coulee and Trout Creek delineate the topography. The map provides a detailed view of the natural water distribution and drainage patterns necessary for land management in this part of Montana, showing how the smaller tributaries like Two Creek feed into the larger creek systems.
