About this map

Stellar Lake and the surrounding high plains of the Garfield and Rosebud County line define this stretch of Eastern Montana. The landscape is marked by a complex network of seasonal drainages and named coulees, including Russian Frank Coulee and Hoff Coulee, which highlight the importance of water management in this arid ranching country. Features like Wagner Reservoir and the winding course of Little Porcupine Creek serve as critical landmarks for local land use and navigation.

While largely open territory, the map documents specific topographic points of interest such as Engine Draw and Cherry Creek. The presence of Brooks Road in the northeastern corner provides a rare human-made corridor through the expansive terrain, connecting the drainages of Coyote Creek in the south to the northern plateaus. This 2014 survey serves as a modern record of the natural contours and water-retention features vital to the Big Sky countryside.
