2017 Map of Rocky Point

About this map

Rocky Point and its namesake terrain feature overlook a landscape dominated by the winding path of Big Muddy Creek and the marshy expanses of Manning Lake. This corner of Roosevelt County is defined by its extensive drainage networks, where Smoke Creek and Irish Coulee carve through the high plains. The map reveals a systematic grid of rural access routes, including Slab Rd and Damm Rd, which support the agricultural and ranching operations of the Fort Kipp District. The terrain transition between the flat wetland basins and the higher elevations of Rocky Point illustrates the complex topography of the Missouri River watershed in eastern Montana. This 2017 survey serves as a precise record of water levels and land use in a region where the interplay of creek beds and coulees dictates the placement of roads and homesteads.
