1995 Map of Mead Creek

About this map

Lewis and Clark National Forest dominates the northern half of this mid-1990s survey, where the Judith Musselshell Ranger District manages the high ground of the Little Belt Mountains transition. The landscape is defined by its drainage patterns, with Mead Creek and Roberts Creek flowing southward out of the forest toward more level terrain. Notable landmarks like the Radio Tower and Corral indicate the intersection of modern utility and traditional land use in this part of Montana. The county line between Judith Basin and Wheatland counties bisects the forest, tracing a path through Sawmill Canyon. To the south, the network of seasonal Spring labels and several irrigation Ditch lines illustrate the vital importance of water management in this high-plains environment near the headwaters of Antelope Creek and Hopley Creek.
