About this map

The Little Wolf Mountains dominate the southern landscape of this 2014 survey along the boundary of Treasure and Rosebud counties. This high-plains terrain is defined by a dense network of seasonal drainages and springs, with watercourses like McClure Creek and Robbie Cr carving through the breaks. The map documents a sparsely populated ranching landscape where access is dictated by primitive routes such as Horse Creek Rd and Armells Creek Rd.

Evidence of local hydrology is particularly detailed, showing numerous specific groundwater sources including 02N39E31 Spring and several others identified by cadastral coordinates. These springs and the creek system, including Trail Cr and the Middle Fork Trail Cr, illustrate the critical importance of water management in this semi-arid region of Montana. The intersection of these natural features with the established township and range lines provides a precise look at the rural geography of the northern Great Plains.
