2014 Map of Little Bear Lake

About this map

Paradise Valley and the surrounding rangelands of Petroleum County are defined by a network of seasonal watercourses and irrigation infrastructure in this 2014 survey. The eponymous Little Bear Lake sits in the northwest, while the Winnett Irrigation County Ditch snakes across the central townships, illustrating the managed water systems critical to this part of Montana. The landscape is deeply incised by drainages such as Whites Coulee and Buffalo Cr, which feed into the larger McDonald Cr system to the south. Cemetery Rd provides a straight-line corridor through the northern sections, serving as one of the few improved routes alongside MT-200. The map's detailed topography reveals the complex breaks and coulees that characterize the terrain between the local creek beds and the broader valley floor.
