2011 Map of Beaver Flats North

About this map

O'Fallon Creek and its complex network of tributaries define this reach of the Montana high plains in Carter County. The drainage patterns of Lily Creek, Buffalo Creek, and Munro Creek reveal a landscape carved by seasonal waterways. This 2011 survey documents a sparse, open territory where the human imprint is primarily found in the names of primitive roads and ancient cattle trails. The prominent Miles City Cutoff traverses the eastern edge of the quadrangle, serving as a reminder of the historic transportation routes used by early ranchers and settlers in this part of the state. Lower-order roads like Stearns Rd, Georgie's Rd, and Hutton Rd provide access to the remote backcountry near Line Camp Creek and Ewalt Creek. This area remains dominated by ranching interests, as evidenced by the lack of incorporated towns and the presence of names like School Section Creek, which references the public land system.
