2011 Map of Lost Creek

About this map

Fort Peck Lake dominates the northwestern landscape of this Garfield County quadrangle, where the expansive shoreline meets the drainage networks of central Montana. The terrain is defined by a series of significant coulees and creek systems that carve through the high plains toward the reservoir, including Ghost Coulee and Deadman Coulee. These watercourses reveal the complex hydrology required to manage this arid region, as evidenced by the presence of Bronze Dam in the southeast corner. To the west, Brandon Butte stands as a prominent landmark overlooking the vast water. The map documents the intersection of recreational utility and natural drainage, with Devils Creek Campground positioned near the meandering mouth of Devils Creek. Local transportation and land use are etched into the landscape through the various forks and branches of Lost Creek and the North Fork Lost Creek.
