About this map

Stellar Lake and the surrounding drainage of Little Porcupine Cr characterize this portion of Rosebud County. The terrain is marked by a complex system of seasonal watercourses and landforms, including Russian Frank Coulee and Hoff Coulee, which shape the local ranching and grazing landscape. The northern portion of the map is defined by the east-west boundary between Garfield County and Rosebud County, illustrating the jurisdictional divisions within this sparsely settled part of Montana.

Water management is evident through the presence of Wagner Reservoir and several smaller catchments like Coyote Cr and Engine Draw. These features reflect the importance of surface water collection in a region defined by high-elevation plains and intermittent streams like Cherry Cr. This map provides a detailed view of the natural topography and hydrologic network prior to any contemporary land-use changes.
