2020 Map of Riceville

About this map

Riceville serves as the central point of interest in this section of Cascade County, where the terrain transitions into the steep slopes of the Little Belt Mountains. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Belt Creek, which has carved out significant geological features like the Sluice Boxes and Nasen Coulee. Much of the southern and western portions of the quadrangle are contained within the Lewis & Clark National Forest, protecting high-elevation landmarks such as Crown Butte. Local hydrology is marked by numerous drainage systems including Tiger Creek and Pilgrim Creek, along with named water sources like Isaac Walton Spring. The map documents a network of mountain roads, such as Evans Riceville Rd and Logging Creek Rd, which provide access to the timbered gulches and coulees that characterize this part of Montana.
