2017 Map of Work Creek

About this map

The Yellowstone River cuts through the northern portion of this landscape, accompanied by the engineering of the Kent Ditch and the small settlement at Quebec. This Sweet Grass County terrain is defined by a series of significant drainage systems and named topographic depressions, including Norwegian Gulch, Tom Benson Gulch, and Big Spring Gulch south of the river. The southern portion of the sheet is largely undeveloped, marked primarily by ranch roads like Work Creek Rd and the winding course of Work Cr. Local history is anchored by the Kent Cem, situated near the confluence of Bridger Cr and the river. Notable geological formations like The Greycliffs and Shanks Basin provide a clear view of the area's physical geography as it stood in the early 21st century, showing the persistence of traditional Montana water-management and ranching patterns.
