About this map

The Powder River meanders through this section of eastern Montana, shaping a landscape defined by its complex drainage network. Tributaries like Tenmile Creek and Mcquiod Creek feed into the main river channel, while the northern reaches are dominated by the Spring Creek system, including its West Fork. This 2011 survey captures the rural infrastructure of Prairie County, where long-established routes such as Terry-Locate Rd and Mispah Rd traverse the high ground between the coulees and creek beds. The mapping of Flat Top Rd and Conns Coulee Rd illustrates the grid of access points necessary for managing this expansive river-bottom and ranching country, showing how the local topography dictates the placement of roads in relation to water features like Flat Creek.
