2024 Map of Van Burton Creek

About this map

Van Burton Creek and its complex network of seasonal tributaries define the landscape of this Rosebud County drainage basin. This modern study documents the intricate system of coulees and creeks that shape the Eastern Montana terrain, including the meandering path of South Sunday Creek and the localized drainage of Spring Coulee. The map illustrates a rural area primarily defined by natural hydrography and public land survey divisions, where human infrastructure is limited to a sparse network of section-line and creek-following routes.
