2011 Map of Olive

About this map

Olive occupies a central position in this corner of Powder River County, where the high plains are defined by an intricate network of drainage systems. The landscape is dominated by the long course of Mizpah Creek, which is joined by numerous tributaries including Ash Creek, Wolf Creek, and Road Creek. This 2011 survey illustrates the sparse, ranch-oriented settlement patterns of southeastern Montana, where infrastructure is largely limited to primary routes like Camp Creek Rd and Mizpah Rd. A notable point of human alteration in this natural watershed is the C Smith Number 1 Dam located along T Creek, serving as a vital water management feature for the surrounding arid lands. The map details the convergence of various forks, such as the North Fork Ash Creek and South Fork Ash Creek, which carve out the subtle topography of the region.
