1979 Map of Board Corral Creek

About this map

O'Fallon Creek and its tributaries carve a network of drainage patterns through the southeastern Montana landscape depicted in this 1970s survey. The terrain is defined by the broad plateau of Beaver Flats, where the Beaver Flats Road provides access to a remote ranching environment. Water management is central to the land's utility, evidenced by a series of small, named impoundments such as Evans Reservoir, Little Britches Reservoir, Schmidt Reservoir, and Dugout Reservoir. These man-made features, alongside numerous springs and wells, supported the cattle and livestock operations that characterize Carter County's rural economy. Distinctive local landmarks like Whiskey Gulch and a remote Landing Strip further illustrate the isolated nature of the area, where topography and water rights dictate the placement of improvements. The map provides a precise record of the hydrological network, including the courses of Board Corral Creek and Alkali Creek.
