2020 Map of Monday Creek

About this map

The Little Powder River and Powder River converge in this southeastern Montana landscape, defining a network of drainage basins and high plains topography. The terrain is marked by distinctive elevations such as Preston Buttes and etched by a series of seasonal and permanent waterways including Monday Cr, Pilgrim Cr, and Hell Cr. This 2020 survey illustrates the modern road network that provides access to this isolated region, featuring routes like Powderville East Rd, Big Powder River-East Rd, and Pilgrim Creek Rd. The map is characterized by its numerous small creek systems, from Annis Cr and Plum Cr to the more southern Butte Cr, which carve through the land and dictate the local geography. Significant landmarks like Hart Draw and Dry Gulch indicate the arid character of the area, while the placement of Corral Cr and Little Corral Cr suggests the enduring influence of cattle ranching on the naming of these remote features.
