About this map

Powderville Road cuts across the southern portion of this landscape in Carter County, Montana, representing a vital overland connection through the high plains. The terrain is defined by the broad drainage patterns of Blacktail Creek and its various tributaries, including Alkali Creek and Whitetail Creek. This 1970s survey captures a working landscape of ranching and early resource exploration, marked by numerous Springs and scattered Wells that provide necessary water sources in a semi-arid environment. The northern boundary of the map transitions into the level expanse of Beaver Flats, while the presence of several Drill Holes suggests the search for subterranean minerals or water during this era. The orientation of the land is anchored by a formal Base Line surveying mark, which bisects the quadrangle and provides a glimpse into the systematic mapping of the American West.
