2011 Map of Patterson Canyon

About this map

The eastern reaches of the Big Snowy Mountains define this section of Golden Valley County, where the high terrain transitions into the namesake Patterson Canyon. This 2011 survey illustrates a sparsely populated ranching landscape shaped by high-plains hydrology, with South Fork Flatwillow Creek and Cameron Creek draining the northern slopes toward McLean Lake. The road network is largely functional for the rural territory, anchored by routes such as Metzger Rd and E East Red Hill Rd. Near the center of the sheet, the prominence of Red Hill stands as a clear landmark for navigators in the drainage basin of Currant Creek, offering a look at the modern land use and topography of this central Montana region.
