2011 Map of Van Burton Creek
USGS Topo · Published 2011About this map
Van Burton Creek and its many tributaries carve through this high-plains landscape of eastern Montana, where water management is the primary marker of human presence. The intricate network of drainage is defined by an extensive series of small reservoirs and earthworks, including the Killen Number 3 Dam, Montana Number 3 Dam, and Hook Number 10 Dam. These features, alongside South Sunday Creek and Dog Creek, illustrate a complex system of rangeland infrastructure designed to capture seasonal runoff. Sparse transportation routes like Dog Creek Rd and RD 203 connect the remote draws of Spring Coulee and Coal Creek, highlighting the vast, open character of Rosebud County during the early 21st century.
