2011 Map of Soda Springs

About this map

Soda Springs serves as the focal point of this high-plains landscape in Yellowstone County, where the hydrology of the Pryor Creek watershed dictates the local geography. The area is defined by a dense network of drainages including East Pryor Creek, East Fork Pryor Creek, and Birdhead Creek, which carve through the terrain. A notable piece of water management infrastructure, the Crow Number 83 Dam, sits in the northeastern portion of the sheet. Transportation is limited to a few primary routes such as Cotten Blvd and the Indian Service Rd, which provide access to the dispersed settlements and grazing lands characteristic of this part of Montana. The map documents the intricate flow of smaller tributaries like East Wets Creek and East Buckeye Creek as they feed into the larger regional drainage systems.
