About this map

Sarpy Creek Mine dominates the central landscape of this Treasure County region, highlighting the industrial footprint within this part of Montana. The area is defined by the drainage systems of Sarpy Creek and its major tributaries, including East Fork Sarpy Creek and Middle Fork Spring Creek. These watercourses carve through a terrain marked by features like Bar Coulee, creating a complex network of ridges and valleys. Human presence is concentrated around the small settlement of Kuehn and along a system of rural routes such as Sarpy Rd and Castle Rock Rd. This survey provides a clear look at the intersection of large-scale mining operations and the natural hydrology of the Great Plains during the early 21st century, illustrating how industrial development and natural topography coexist.
