2011 Map of Blacktail Creek NW
USGS Topo · Published 2011About this map
The Powder River carves a winding course through this section of Carter County, shaping a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainage systems. The convergence of Blacktail Creek, Little Blacktail Creek, and Alkali Creek illustrates the complex natural irrigation of this Montana rangeland. In the lower portion of the quadrangle, the Mallett Number 2 Dam represents a specific point of water management, reflecting the practical human adaptations required for land use in this arid environment. The map provides a clear look at the meandering path of Nichols Creek as it feeds into the larger river system, offering a detailed record of the local topography and hydrology before modern changes might alter these seasonal watercourses.
