About this map

Lake Basin occupies the northern portion of this landscape, where the boundary between Sweet Grass and Stillwater counties is defined by a north-south line. The drainage patterns here are complex, with waters flowing through Russell Gulch and Hoppy Gulch into an intricate network of waterways including Cedar Creek, Middle Creek, and East White Beaver Creek. The terrain is marked by these named gulches and the creeks that carve through the high plains.

Transportation throughout this section of Stillwater County relies on a grid of rural routes such as Rapelje Rd, Big Timber Rd, and Phipps Rd. These roads suggest a landscape of ranching and agricultural operations, connecting isolated homesteads to larger regional hubs. The presence of Camp Creek and McNally Creek in the southern sections further illustrates the importance of water management in this high-elevation Montana environment.
