About this map

Lower Willow Creek Reservoir and its associated dam dominate this central Montana landscape, where the waters of the North Fork Lower Willow Creek and West Fork Lower Willow Creek converge. The terrain is defined by distinct landmarks such as Nirling Hill, Sugarloaf, and The Eyebrow, alongside numerous water management features like the Allen Dale Ditch and Dooley Ditch that reflect the area's agricultural infrastructure.

Evidence of historical resource extraction is found at the Red Cloud Mine in the southeast, while the presence of the Conn Ranch highlights the rural, ranching character of Granite County. A network of local routes, including Cow Creek Rd and Mason Ln, connects the drainages of Byrne Creek and Cottonwood Creek, providing a detailed look at the land use patterns in this part of the Philipsburg region during the early 21st century.
