2017 Map of Spring Valley East

About this map

Spring Valley and the drainage basins of the Little Porcupine Creek system define this portion of Valley County. The landscape is marked by the convergence of the W Fork Little Porcupine Cr and the E Fork Little Porcupine Cr, which join to form the main stem of Little Porcupine Cr as it flows south. This drainage pattern reveals the natural corridors used for local travel and ranching in a region where water sources dictate the placement of settlements. Human activity is evidenced by the local road network, including Lustre Grain Rd and W Pankratz Rd, which serve the agricultural and transport needs of the area. The inclusion of the Olfert Airport highlights the importance of small-scale aviation for connectivity in this part of Montana.
