2011 Map of Yaple Bench

About this map

West Evers Saw Mill sits along the eastern edge of this Wheatland County landscape, reflecting the local timber economy within a complex drainage system of the Lewis and Clark National Forest region. The area is defined by the convergence of numerous named waterways including Ross Fork Creek, Niel Creek, and the multi-branched Galloway Creek. The terrain is marked by distinctive geological features such as Browns Gulch and Tie Camp Coulee, which shape the path of local transit routes like Yaple Bench Rd and Garneill Rd. This network of creeks and gulches illustrates the hydrological complexity of the high benchlands, where West Fork Blake Creek and East Fork Blake Creek carve through the northern Montana territory, providing critical water sources for the remote ranching and timber interests established here.
