2020 Map of Smith Creek

About this map

Smith Cr carves through this portion of Rosebud County, forming a drainage network that defines the local ranching landscape. The terrain is structured by a series of long ridges and valleys, with Long Prong and Slaughterhouse Cr providing secondary drainage to the east. This 2020 survey reveals a remote area primarily accessed by unpaved routes like Smith Creek Rd and the W Fork Smith Creek Rd, reflecting the traditional land use patterns of Big Sky country. The presence of Flying X Ranch Ln underscores the area's ongoing agricultural and ranching heritage. These roads follow the natural contours of the creeks, illustrating how the watercourses dictate human movement and property boundaries in this Montana interior.
