2014 Map of Blacktail Creek SE

About this map

Beaver Flats dominates the northeastern corner of this corner of Carter County, characterizing a high-plains landscape defined by its intricate drainage networks. The area is etched by numerous watercourses, including the westward-flowing Blacktail Cr and the complex branching of Spring Cr and S Spring Cr. These seasonal and perennial streams have carved the terrain into a dense series of ridges and draws, reflecting the slow erosion of the Montana prairie. Transportation in this section of the county is limited to a handful of thoroughfares, notably Powderville Rd and Beaver Flats Rd, which follow the natural contours of the land. The mapping of township and range lines, such as t1n r56e and t1s r56e, underscores the organized division of this expansive rangeland into the Public Land Survey System.
