2011 Map of Mildred NE

About this map

Hay Creek and its tributary, the West Fork Hay Creek, define the central drainage of this Prairie County landscape, as documented in 2011. The map illustrates a network of rural water management and seasonal drainages characteristic of eastern Montana. Infrastructure is centered around local ranching and water conservation, most notably marked by the Buckley Dam near the center of the sheet and the Vogele Reservoir Dam further east. These water-retention features, alongside named landforms like Lambing Draw and Pumpkin Coulee, reflect the livestock-focused history of the region. The southern edge of the survey is bounded by the winding course of Pine Creek, while McNaney Creek carves a path through the eastern hills, showing the subtle but critical topographical shifts that dictate road and land use in this part of the state.
