2024 Map of Thompson Creek NW

About this map

The Wolf Mountains dominate the southeastern portion of this landscape in Big Horn County, Montana, where the terrain breaks into a complex system of drainage headwaters. This area is defined by the diverging paths of major local waterways, with Reno Creek and its branches, including the North Fork Reno Creek and South Fork Reno Creek, flowing through the northwestern sections. To the east, the topography transitions toward the Davis Creek drainage system, including the Middle Fork Davis Creek. The presence of Reno Creek Rd and Su Rd indicates the primary corridors for land access in this cattle-country environment. The naming of Dipping Vat Creek in the north offers a direct reference to the region's ranching heritage, while Thompson Creek cuts through the southern reaches, illustrating the critical role of these seasonal and perennial water sources in high-plains geography.
