About this map

The Little Missouri River system defines this corner of Carter County, Montana, carving a complex network of drainage channels across the southeastern plains. This digital-era survey reveals the intricate topography formed by seasonal and permanent waterways, where Hamilton Cr and the various branches of Cottonwood Cr converge. The landscape is marked by the shifting paths of N Cottonwood Cr and S Cottonwood Cr, which indicate a highly dynamic watershed.

Divided by the township and range lines of t7s r59e and t8s r60e, the area is characterized by sparse settlement and a focus on the natural hydrography. The inclusion of Short Cr and the parallel flows of N Butte Cr and S Butte Cr illustrate the geological character of the region as it transitions toward the Little Missouri basin. This record of the modern landscape preserves the exact drainage patterns essential for land management and environmental study.
