2020 Map of Papps Reservoir

About this map

Papps Reservoir and Innes Reservoir serve as central landmarks in this corner of Prairie County, Montana. The landscape is defined by the branching drainages of the Cedar Cr and Brackett Creek systems, including the E Fork Cedar Cr and W Fork Brackett Cr. These intermittent watercourses and small reservoirs suggest a landscape managed for livestock and seasonal water retention. Local travel in this expansive area centers on established routes like Cedar Creek Rd and Cherry Creek Rd, which provide access through the complex network of draws and ridges such as those around Stouts Cr and Cherry Cr. This 2020 record illustrates the enduring spatial organization of Montana rangeland, where named roads and water sources remain the primary orienting features across the township and range grid.
