2014 Map of Beaver Flats South

About this map

Beaver Flats and the striking elevations of the Chalk Buttes dominate this landscape in Carter County. This 2014 survey captures a section of the Custer National Forest characterized by its network of drainage creeks and isolated springs, including the curiously named Bronco Sam Spring and Michael Spring. The terrain transitions from the low-lying Ewalt Cr and Flat Cr basins up toward prominent landmarks like Big Hill and Newberry Knob. This corner of Montana maintains a very rural character, with movement largely defined by unpaved routes such as Powderville Rd and Ekalaka Dump Rd. The drainage patterns of Little Beaver Cr and Spring Cr illustrate the complex hydrology of this high-plains environment, while named features like Hehn Draw point to the area's local ranching or settlement history.
