About this map

The Little Missouri River snakes through the high plains of Carter County, Montana, providing the primary drainage for a series of seasonal tributaries. The settlement of Alzada serves as the focal point of this landscape, situated near the confluence of several waterways including Arkansas Creek and Willow Creek. This 1980 survey captures the community infrastructure of the era, notably the Rodeo Ground and a Gaging Sta along the riverbanks.

South of the township, the terrain levels out into the Stoneville Flats, while the northern reaches are defined by a network of drainage channels such as Short Creek and Sevenmile Creek. Long-distance infrastructure is represented by a large Pipeline and the established Range Road, which together trace the movement of resources and people across this southeastern corner of the state. These features illustrate the ranching and resource-based economy that continues to characterize the region.
