2014 Map of Bentonite Flats

About this map

Bentonite Flats defines the central portion of this 2014 survey in Big Horn County, characterized by a complex drainage system that feeds into the surrounding plains. The geography is shaped primarily by the intricate network of Woody Crk, which branches into Big Woody Cr, Little Woody Cr, and Woody Cr as it moves across the terrain. These seasonal or intermittent watercourses indicate a landscape defined by erosion and the movement of water through the flats. At the southern edge of the map, the headwaters of Beauvais Cr emerge, marking the divide between different local watersheds. This map provides a detailed view of the public land survey system divisions across township and range lines, illustrating how this remote part of Montana is structured for land management and resource monitoring.
