2020 Map of Sand Springs

About this map

Sand Springs serves as the focal point of this Garfield County landscape, situated at the junction of Benzien Rd and State Route 200. This 2020 survey illustrates a region defined by its wide drainage basins and prominent geologic rises, most notably the high ground at Kirts Butte, Manlove Butte, and Mows Butte. The hydrology of the area is shaped by seasonal watercourses and local water management, including the Krieder Reservoir and the winding paths of S Fork Lodgepole Cr and Big Dry Cr. Evidence of local infrastructure is seen in the Sand Springs Strip, providing a landing point for this isolated section of the Montana plains. The map also delineates the rugged topography of Brickhammer Coulee and the reach of the Dry Fork Calf Cr, showing how the land remains partitioned into the sprawling township and range sections of T15N and T16N.
