2017 Map of Pass Creek East

About this map

Aberdeen serves as the primary point of settlement in this northern high plains landscape, situated near the modern intersection of Aberdeen Rd and Pass Creek Rd. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of waterways draining toward the east and north, including Middle Pine Creek, Big Pine Creek, and Wyola Creek. This 2017 survey illustrates the enduring importance of water management in the region, evidenced by irrigation infrastructure such as the Upper Spear Ditch and Thompson Ditch. The map also documents the political geography of the area, as the Montana Wyoming state line bisects the territory, separating Big Horn County from Sheridan County just south of the local drainages of Line Rider Creek and Owl Creek.
