About this map

Belt Creek serves as the central artery of this landscape, carving through a region defined by dramatic elevation shifts and secluded drainage systems. Near the northern settlement of Riceville, the creek passes through the unique geological formations of the Nasen Coulee Sluice Boxes, where the narrow canyon walls create a distinct natural waterway. This 2011 survey captures a mix of recreational and residential sites, including Camp Don Bosco, positioned along the creek banks south of the town center.

The topography transitions from the high, flat-topped landmark of Crown Butte in the southwest to the riparian valley floor. Natural water sources like the Isaac Walton Spring and the converging flows of Tiger Creek, Logging Creek, and Neil Creek illustrate the watershed's complexity. Regional access is maintained through the Evans Riceville Rd and Logging Creek Rd, providing a look at the infrastructure supporting this Montana valley during the early 21st century.
