2020 Map of Stellar Lake

About this map

Stellar Lake and the surrounding drainage systems of southern Garfield and Rosebud Counties define this high-plains landscape. The area is characterized by intermittent watercourses and land management features like the Wagner Reservoir, which support agricultural activity in a semi-arid region. Named coulees such as Russian Frank Coulee and Hoff Coulee cut through the terrain, suggesting a history of local land use and grazing. The complex network of seasonal creeks, including Little Porcupine Creek, Cherry Creek, and Coyote Creek, illustrates the natural watershed patterns of the Montana prairie. Landform labels like Engine Draw further specify the local topography, providing a detailed look at the drainage basins that transition between the two counties.
