2011 Map of Spring Creek SW

About this map

Tomato Can Creek meanders through this portion of the Frazer District in Valley County, forming the primary drainage network for the surrounding grasslands. This 2011 survey illustrates a sparse, rural landscape defined by wide-open terrain and a modest system of local roads. The hydrological pattern is dominated by the branching tributaries of Tomato Can Creek and Sargent Creek, which provide essential water sources for this arid region of Montana. Human infrastructure is limited to established rural routes such as Daley Rd and Brandt Rd, which connect the isolated homesteads and ranching tracts common to the eastern part of the state. The map reveals the relationship between water and transport in a vast environment where secondary roads often follow the natural contours established by the creek beds.
