2014 Map of Rough Creek SW

About this map

Little Porcupine Creek and its many tributaries carve a network of drainages across this portion of Rosebud County, defining a landscape marked by elevation changes from 2600 to over 3000 feet. This 2014 survey captures a section of the eastern Montana plains where land management is organized by the Public Land Survey System, specifically within t10n r40e and t9n r40e. The map highlights the intricate hydrological patterns of the region, from the winding path of Rattlesnake Creek in the west to the headwaters of Wolf Creek and Cottonwood Creek in the east. Stellar Creek crosses the southwestern corner, illustrating the importance of these watercourses in an otherwise arid grazing and ranching environment. For researchers, the map provides precise section-line boundaries and topography used to locate property and land use in this sparsely populated interior.
