2024 Map of Papps Reservoir

About this map

Papps Reservoir and Innes Reservoir anchor this section of the Montana landscape, highlighting the critical role of water management in the arid environment of Prairie County. The drainage network is well-defined by the paths of Cedar Creek and Brackett Creek, which are fed by several tributaries including Stouts Creek and the West Fork Brackett Creek. Transportation through these eastern Montana highlands is largely facilitated by the unimproved corridors of Cedar Creek Rd and Cherry Creek Rd, providing access across the township boundaries of T14N and T13N. This 2024 survey documents the hydrographic patterns and the sparse network of rural roads that characterize this ranching and watershed region.
