2011 Map of Big Sheep Mountain

About this map

Big Sheep Mountain anchors this high plains terrain in Prairie County, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of seasonal drainage and prairie coulees. The map traces the dendritic patterns of West Duck Creek, East Duck Creek, and Ash Creek as they weave through the open rangeland. Transportation is centered on the corridor of Fas 253, which cuts through the northern half of the quadrangle. This area represents the expansive cattle country of eastern Montana, where water sources like Plenty Creek are vital landmarks in an otherwise sparse and open environment. The survey provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure, specifically the secondary roads and 4WD trails that connect isolated ranching outposts across the breaks.
