About this map

Sieben Ranch anchors the southwestern corner of this drainage basin, where the waters of Clark Creek and Little Prickly Pear Creek converge near the winding path of Recreation Rd S. This landscape is defined by the steep-sided cuts of Rose Gulch, Spring Gulch, and Bear Gulch, which feed into the extensive Sheep Creek system. To the northeast, the terrain opens toward the Missouri River, dominated by the infrastructure of Holter Dam and the waters of Holter Lake.

A network of private ranch roads and aviation facilities, including the Ox Bow Ranch Airport and the Oxbow Landing Strip, highlights the modern connectivity of this rural Montana corridor. The proximity of N Lyons Creek Rd and the Sheep Creek Bridge to the Interstate corridor illustrates the area's role as a transit point between high mountain grazing lands and the vital water resources of the Missouri.
