2014 Map of Upper Magpie Reservoir

About this map

Gas City Oil Field and the North Pine Oil Field define the industrial footprint of this portion of Dawson County, where energy extraction meets the high plains drainage systems. The landscape is carved by numerous seasonal waterways, most notably Magpie Creek, which feeds into the Upper Magpie Reservoir. Further south, the terrain supports additional water management features including Forks Reservoir and Camp Reservoir, both situated along the winding course of Cedar Creek. Rural transit across these sections is maintained by a network of local routes such as Marsh Rd and Road 114. This survey illustrates the spatial relationship between natural creek beds like Forbill Creek and Sand Creek and the township-range boundaries that organize the Montana ranch and oil lands.
