2024 Map of Springdale

About this map

The settlement of Springdale sits at the northern edge of this landscape, positioned where the Yellowstone River and the Hunters Hot Springs Canal converge. This modern survey illustrates a rugged transition from the river valley into the high-elevation drainages of the West Boulder River and its various tributaries. The terrain is defined by a complex network of creeks, including Mendenhall Creek, Wild Creek, and Jarrett Creek, which carve through the high plateaus and ridges. The boundary between Park Co and Sweet Grass Co bisects the area, highlighting how these administrative lines follow the natural topography of the region. Local infrastructure such as Convict Grade Rd and Main Boulder Rd provide access into the more remote southern sections, leading toward the prominent landform known as Coal Mine Rim. This study of the Big Timber and Livingston vicinity is particularly useful for understanding the modern hydrological patterns of the Yellowstone and Boulder watersheds.
