2011 Map of Morgan Creek School

About this map

Morgan Creek School (Historical) stands as a primary point of interest in this eastern Montana landscape, reflecting the rural educational foundations of Dawson County. The terrain is defined by a series of drainages and coulees, most notably Coal Mine Coulee and Plum Coulee, which cut through the open country. These natural features illustrate the drainage patterns feeding into major watercourses like Morgan Creek and the South Fork Thirteenmile Creek. The map documents a sparse, functional network of local roads including Road 521 and Road 540, which facilitate movement through the ranching and agricultural lands. For local historians, this survey preserves the exact location of the historical school site and the various named creeks, such as Lower Sevenmile Creek and Dry Creek, that have long dictated the placement of homesteads and livestock operations in this corner of the state.
