2020 Map of Snake Creek School

About this map

Snake Creek School anchors the southwestern corner of this Valley County landscape, a marker of the rural educational infrastructure in this expansive section of Montana. The area is defined by a dendritic network of drainage systems, most notably the meandering paths of Snake Cr and Crow Cr. These waterways, along with E Fork Crow Cr and the uniquely named Tiny Spring, dictate the local topography and have historically influenced the placement of early ranching and transport routes. Connectivity across this prairie terrain is maintained by a series of graded roads, including Hinsdale N Rd and Snake Cr Rd, which follow the natural contours of the stream valleys. The map provides a clear look at the township and range divisions, such as t36n r35e, which historically partitioned this land for settlement and grazing.
