2017 Map of Rough Creek SW

About this map

Little Porcupine Creek Rd traces the eastern edge of this landscape in Rosebud County, serving as the primary corridor through a region defined by its complex drainage network. The terrain is deeply incised by a series of waterways, including Rough Creek, Wolf Cr, and Cottonwood Cr, which flow toward the larger Little Porcupine Cr system. This 2017 survey reflects the enduring cattle-country character of the Montana plains, where topographic changes are dictated by the erosion patterns of Rattlesnake Cr and the southern Stellar Cr. The absence of dense settlement highlights the open-range nature of the townships t10n r40e and t9n r40e, where land use is dictated by access to these seasonal and perennial water sources.
