1988 Map of Willow Creek Reservoir

About this map

Willow Creek Reservoir dominates this high-altitude landscape in the late 1980s, where the boundary between Gallatin Co and Madison Co cuts across the northern ridges. This rugged Montana territory is defined by the canyon-carving path of Willow Creek as it enters the reservoir from the northeast, joined by tributaries like Spring Creek and Sand Creek. The map shows a region largely focused on resource management and outdoor access, evidenced by a Boat Ramp, Picnic Area, and the reservoir's Spillway. To the south, the terrain remains less developed, marked by the winding courses of Norwegian Creek and Dry Hollow Creek. Small-scale historical activity is noted at the southern edge of the quadrangle near Prospects, while a lone Storage Bin stands as a rare man-made landmark in the lower reaches of the map.
