2017 Map of Storm Draw

About this map

Thompson Creek Oilfield Airport sits in the northwestern corner of this landscape, marking a localized pocket of industrial utility within a terrain defined by its complex drainage systems. Crossing the Wyoming and Montana border, the land is etched by numerous seasonal channels and named draws. Significant water features include the N Fork Little Missouri River and the Battle Cr Reservoir, which collect flow from tributaries such as Prickly Pear Cr and N Battle Cr. The naming conventions found throughout the quadrangle, from School Section Draw to Deadman Cr, reflect a history of land use and local navigation in a region where water sources and topographic relief dictates the placement of roads and infrastructure.
