About this map

South Cottonwood Creek and its seasonal tributaries define this section of Carter County, Montana, as it appeared in the early 1980s. The landscape is characterized by its drainage network, including Trough Creek and the meandering Zimmerman Draw, which flow through the undulating terrain south of Middle Creek. This era of land use is marked by a clear infrastructure of utility and ranching, evidenced by the presence of a Pumping Sta, a prominent Radio Tower, and several pipelines that cross the ranchlands. Local settlement is concentrated at family operations such as Peters Ranch and Nuhn Ranch, while the namesake Black Point provides a distinct geographical landmark near the eastern boundary of the quadrangle. The map also traces the North Fork Willow Creek near the southern edge, illustrating the water-dependent nature of life in this part of the state.
