About this map

Whiskey Gulch and the southern reaches of Beaver Flats define the drainage patterns of this corner of Carter County. The landscape is characterized by a high concentration of small-scale water management features, including the Little Britches Reservoir, Evans Reservoir, Schmidt Reservoir, and Dugout Reservoir. These artificial catchments suggest a rural economy reliant on careful water storage for livestock or seasonal agriculture in an area otherwise dominated by intermittent stream networks.

Major drainages such as O'Fallon Cr, Board Corral Cr, and H Seven Cr meander through the township boundaries of T2N and T3N. A sparse network of local roads, including Tea Cup Rd and Coffee Pot Rd, provides the only terrestrial access through these eastern Montana plains. The presence of Line Camp Cr and several creek crossings points to the historical use of this land for open-range ranching and seasonal encampments.
