2011 Map of Lookout

About this map

Lookout sits at a crossroads in the northeastern corner of this landscape, overlooking the rolling terrain of the Calderwood Hills. The area is defined by a dendritic network of drainage systems, most notably Porcupine Creek which winds through the central and southern portions of the map. This 2011 survey captures a rural Montana environment where water management is critical for ranching and land use, evidenced by the presence of the Middle Reservoir and the Bobsland Dam. Smaller water sources like Olson Springs and Potter Spring are scattered across the quadrangle, serving as vital points in an otherwise arid expanse. In the far northwest, Dry Fork Creek enters the frame, completing a picture of a remote grazing territory mapped with modern precision.
