About this map

The Little Missouri River brushes the southeastern corner of this landscape in Carter County, Montana, serving as the primary drainage for a network of intermittent creeks that define the local geography. The area is characterized by the complex convergence of N Cottonwood Cr and S Cottonwood Cr, which join to form Cottonwood Cr. Further north, Hamilton Cr and the dual branches of N Butte Cr and S Butte Cr carve paths through the township. This modern survey reflects the vast, sparsely populated grazing lands typical of the American West, where watercourses like Short Cr provide the essential framework for ranching and land division. The map provides a detailed look at the public land survey system, illustrating how township boundaries like t7s r59e and t8s r60e organize this open country.
