2014 Map of Thompson Creek NW

About this map

The Wolf Mountains dominate the southern half of this Big Horn County landscape, a terrain defined by the complex drainage systems of the Reno and Thompson creek watersheds. The topography illustrates a high-altitude grazing environment where natural water sources like Dipping Vat Cr and the Middle Fork Davis Cr dictate the layout of the sparse road network. Early 21st-century access is limited to unpaved routes such as Davis Creek Rd and Thompson Creek Rd, which trace the low-lying valleys between rising ridges. The intricate branching of the N Fork Reno Cr and S Fork Reno Cr in the north reveals the historical importance of water management in this high-plains region. This survey provides a precise look at land divisions and hydrology before significant modern development, preserving the remote character of these Montana highlands.
