2011 Map of Twin Forks Reservoir

About this map

Twin Forks Reservoir and a series of managed water systems define this portion of Dawson County, Montana. The landscape is characterized by a network of drainage and storage, where Frank Creek and Magpie Creek cut through the terrain below Blue Mountain. The infrastructure of the area relies on a collection of smaller earthen works, including Twin Forks Dam, Lobella Dam, and Dwarf Dam, which regulate the flow into Upper Labelle Reservoir and the Labelle Ditch. This reliance on localized water management is further evidenced by Gagena Reservoir and the Lost Coulee Dam at the southern edge. The only primary overland route shown is Sandcreek Rd, which traverses the center of this sparse, ranch-oriented territory.
