2024 Map of Black Point

About this map

South Cottonwood Creek and North Fork Willow Creek define the drainage patterns of this high plains region in Carter County, Montana. The landscape is characterized by intermittent watercourses and significant elevation features like the Flattops and the prominent Black Point landmark. While the area is largely defined by its natural topography, the presence of Cochran Dr provides a singular modern reference point for land access in a territory traditionally used for grazing. The detailed relief work traces numerous coulees and draws, including the lengthy Zimmerman Draw, revealing the complex erosion patterns across the townships of t7s r57e and t8s r58e. This 2024 data reflects the persistent remote character of the Montana backcountry, where named water bodies like Middle Creek and Hadigan Creek remain the primary orienting features for local navigation.
