2017 Map of Sportsman Pond

About this map

Sportsman Pond serves as a focal point in this high-plains landscape of eastern Montana, where the drainage networks of several creek systems converge. The terrain is defined by its watercourses, including the southward flow of Milk Creek and the meandering Lame Jones Creek, which passes near the prominent Bearhorn Butte. This 2017 survey reveals a classic section-line road grid typical of the American West, punctuated by naming conventions that reflect local geography and land ownership, such as Bergstrom Hill Rd and Scorio Butte Rd. The presence of the Old Baker Hwy in the southeastern corner suggests the historical transit corridors connecting this rural area to larger regional hubs. The intricate network of intermittent streams like Duck Creek and North Fork of Dry Creek illustrates the complex hydrology of the Fallon County uplands.
