2017 Map of Mud Creek

About this map

Lewis & Clark National Forest defines the northern reaches of this landscape, where the terrain transitions from timbered slopes into the dramatic drainages of the high plains. The topography is dominated by a series of significant erosional features, including the deep Long Canyon, Picnic Canyon, and the broad expanse of Big Coulee. Water management and natural drainage patterns are central to the area's geography, with the N Fork Musselshell River flowing along the southern boundary and the man-made Mill Ditch cutting across the southwestern quadrant. This 2017 survey illustrates the intersection of public forest lands and ranching infrastructure, connected by corridors like Findon Ln and Raschke Ranch Rd that navigate the coulees and creek beds including Mud Creek and Daisy Dean Cr.
