2014 Map of Mead Creek

About this map

The Little Belt Mountains define the northern reaches of this landscape, where the high elevations of the Lewis & Clark National Forest give way to the drainage basins of central Montana. Numerous water sources emerge from these slopes, including 11N14E01BB _01 Spring and 11N14E01AD _02 Spring near the county line between Judith Basin and Wheatland counties. The terrain is marked by distinctive geological formations such as Stevens Butte and deep incisions like Sawmill Canyon and Stevens Gulch. Descending from the forest boundary, the land transitions into a complex network of seasonal and perennial waterways. The central portion is dominated by the course of Mead Cr, while the southern reaches are defined by the winding path of Antelope Cr. This area remains largely undeveloped, with access primarily provided by unpaved tracks such as Lode Rd and Coyote Ln, reflecting a landscape dedicated to conservation and traditional grazing.
