2024 Map of Pike Creek Hills West

About this map

Pike Creek Hills dominate the northern landscape of this central Montana quadrangle, where the headwaters of several drainage systems carve through the terrain. The topography is defined by the eastward flow of Pike Creek, Buck Creek, and Spring Creek, which eventually give way to the wider alluvial valley of Flatwillow Creek in the south. This region, straddling the border of Fergus and Petroleum counties, shows a sparse transportation network primarily consisting of Upper Flatwillow Rd and Graves Rd. The map illustrates the transition from the high ridges of the hills to the bottomlands near Little Wall Creek, providing a detailed look at the water sources and land divisions that have shaped ranching and land use in this part of the state.
