2011 Map of Otter

About this map

Otter stands as a focal point in this portion of Powder River County, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of water management and seasonal drainages. The area is characterized by numerous small-scale impoundments including Lost Creek Reservoir, Fletcher Reservoir, and Rocky Draw Reservoir, reflecting a ranching economy reliant on carefully managed water sources. These reservoirs are strategically placed across rugged drainages like Hoover Draw and Colester Draw. Transportation follows the natural contours of the land, with Otter Creek Rd and Bear Creek Rd providing the primary routes through the valley. The presence of features like Happy Coulee Reservoir and Morris Reservoir further illustrates the localized efforts to harness surface runoff in this semi-arid Montana environment.
