2011 Map of Long Draw

About this map

The Elk Basin Oil Field dominates the southeastern portion of this terrain in Carbon County, revealing the industrial footprint of energy extraction in the Montana borderlands. Water management is a primary theme of the landscape, illustrated by the presence of the Clarks Fork and Silver Tip Ditch and the River View Ditch in the northwest, which divert vital resources through an otherwise arid environment. The map details the drainage patterns of Silver Tip Creek, Cub Creek, and Hunt Creek, alongside topographical features like Long Draw and Williams Draw. Transportation is confined to service and rural routes such as S Silver Tip Rd and Long Draw Rd, which provide access to the oil fields and ranching land characteristic of this region.
