2011 Map of North Slick Creek

About this map

Wagon Creek and the various forks of Slick Creek define the drainage patterns of this Montana landscape near the South Dakota border. The terrain is marked by numerous small-scale water management projects, including the Evenson Irrigation Dam and Rolph Number 1 Dam, which speak to the area's agricultural and ranching requirements in the early 21st century. The map reveals a network of rural routes such as Mill Iron Rd and Lewton Rd that connect isolated landmarks. Evidence of local activity is found at Brown Jug Spring and the Gravel Pit Reservoir. This corner of Carter County is characterized by its wide-reaching creek beds, where the Middle Slick Creek and North Slick Creek converge to form the primary channel of Slick Creek.
