2014 Map of Beaver Flats North

About this map

Beaver Flats lies at the southern edge of this Carter County landscape, situated where the high plains are carved by an intricate drainage system. The drainage pattern is defined by major watercourses like Buffalo Cr and O'Fallon Cr, which are fed by numerous seasonal tributaries including Lily Cr and Munro Cr. This 2014 survey documents the enduring spatial layout of the eastern Montana rangelands, where transportation is dictated by the terrain. The presence of the Miles City Cutoff in the northern sections indicates a legacy of regional transit through this open country. Local access is maintained through a network of rural routes such as Markuson Rd, Meyers Rd, and Beaver Flats Rd, tracing the paths between remote homesteads and grazing lands. The map also captures several named geographic features that suggest historical land use, such as Line Camp Cr and School Section Cr.
