2011 Map of Rough Creek NE

About this map

The seasonal waterways of Rough Creek and its many tributaries characterize this part of Rosebud County during the early 21st century. The landscape is defined by a complex network of drainage basins, where intermittent streams like Ryans Fork, Upper Coal Creek, and Dog Creek carve through the terrain. A distinctive element of this era's land management is the series of numbered water control structures, including Hook Number 3 Dam and Hook Number 8 Dam, which likely support local ranching operations in this arid region. The central focal point of water storage is Trail Creek Reservoir, held by the Trail Creek Dam. Transportation is limited to remote corridors like RD 203, reflecting the low-density, agricultural character of the high plains north of the Yellowstone River.
