2011 Map of Sanburn Reservoir

About this map

Sanburn Reservoir and its associated Sanburn Reservoir Dam form the centerpiece of this southeastern Montana landscape. The area is defined by a dendritic network of drainages, including Horse Creek, Belle Creek, and Wright Creek, which carve through the Powder River County terrain. This topography is representative of the high plains water management systems utilized throughout the region. Notable infrastructure includes the CCC Reservoir in the north and a small network of local thoroughfares such as Belle Creek Rd and Gotfredson Rd. The distribution of these water bodies and roads reflects a landscape focused on ranching and resource management in an arid environment where water storage is vital to the local economy.
