2011 Map of Norville Creek

About this map

Fort Peck Lake defines the northern and eastern reaches of this Garfield County landscape, where the Missouri River's impoundment creates a complex shoreline of inlets and points. The small settlement of Haxby serves as a central landmark for this rural area, situated at the intersection of local routes including Haxby Rd. The terrain is deeply incised by a network of seasonal drainages, most notably Norville Creek and the North Fork Box Creek, which channel runoff through the high plains toward the reservoir. Aviation and ranching infrastructure appear in the form of the Hoolie Airport and several localized water management features like the Harold Number 1 Dam. This 2011 survey captures the vast drainage patterns typical of eastern Montana, showing how Cut Coulee and Sage Creek navigate the breaks before reaching the lake.
