2011 Map of Sims Spring

About this map

Sims Spring serves as a central landmark in this high-plains landscape of the Wolf Point District, as documented by the U.S. Geological Survey in 2011. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of seasonal drainages and coulees, most notably the meandering paths of Boxelder Creek and Chelsea Creek. These watercourses carve through the Montana prairie, creating a distinct topographical signature of erosion and relief in Roosevelt County. North of these major drainages, the map identifies Smith Coulee, illustrating the sparse but vital hydrologic features that have shaped land use and ranching boundaries in this part of the state. The layout of local roads follows the township and range lines, providing a clear view of the rural infrastructure supporting this remote area.
