2011 Map of Mud Spring

About this map

Maginnis Creek and its northern branch, North Maginnis Creek, define the drainage patterns across this part of Petroleum County. The landscape is characterized by its agricultural and ranching infrastructure, evidenced by several water management sites such as Bethel Number 1 Dam, Bethel Number 7 Dam, and Frazer Number 1 Dam. These features, alongside Goffena Number 2 Dam, illustrate a reliance on collected water resources in a region where Mud Springs Creek flows toward the south. The area remains largely open and rural, connected by a network of local routes including the primary County Rd, reflecting the remote ranching character of central Montana in the early 21st century.
