2011 Map of Pryor NW

About this map

Wolf Creek and Cottonwood Creek carve through this Montana landscape, defining the local drainage patterns south of the Yellowstone River. The area is characterized by a sparse road network, primarily consisting of Pryor Rd, E Pryor Rd, and Edgar Rd, which facilitate travel through the vast open spaces of Yellowstone County. Several significant tributaries, including Plum Creek, Macheta Creek, and Willow Creek, create a dendritic network across the terrain. Farther south, the headwaters of the North Fork Fivemile Creek and Middle Fork Fivemile Creek emerge, illustrating the complex hydrography of the region. The map captures the intersection of these vital waterways and the rural infrastructure that supports the local ranching and agricultural heritage.
