2011 Map of Little Bear Creek

About this map

Owl Creek and Little Bear Creek dominate this landscape along the Montana-Wyoming border, where a complex network of drainage basins defines the topography of Sheridan County. The area is characterized by high plains terrain, where water sources are vital landmarks, such as the uniquely identified 08S37E26ACAC01 Spring located in the northern reaches. This 2011 survey illustrates a region largely defined by its natural watercourses and sparse infrastructure, with transportation limited to established routes like County Rd 125 and Bear Creek Rd. Several significant tributaries, including Youngs Creek, Ash Creek, and Little Youngs Creek, converge across the quadrangle, indicating the watershed importance of this borderland area. For researchers, the map provides precise locations for family-named drainages like Wolf Creek and Squirrel Creek as they existed in the early 21st century.
