2017 Map of Alkali Creek

About this map

Alkali Creek meanders through this portion of Rosebud County, where the landscape is defined by a dendritic network of seasonal drainages and coulees. The terrain is characterized by the branching headwaters of N Sunday Cr and S Sunday Cr, which carve through the high plains of eastern Montana. Human infrastructure is sparse, concentrated primarily along S Angela Rd in the northern reaches of the quadrangle. This 2017 survey reflects a modern era of land management, where the historic township and range system remains the primary framework for the area. Significant watercourses such as Lone Tree Cr and Hay Cr illustrate the drainage patterns that have shaped the local topography for generations of ranchers and landholders in this rural sector.
