About this map

The Little Missouri River carves a winding path through this corner of Carter County, Montana, defining a landscape of sharp bends and named draws along the state border with South Dakota. The small settlement of Capitol serves as the focal point of the area, supported by the Capitol Church and the nearby Capitol Cem. This rural community is situated at the junction of Capitol Rd and Little Missouri Rd, surrounded by distinctive topographic features such as Indian Butte, Three Peaks, and Mud Butte.

Southward along the river, the terrain is marked by numerous riparian features including Johnson Bend, Petes Bend, and Burnt Bend, alongside The Island. The map also details the Sky Ranch For Boys Airport in the northeast and several cattle-country landmarks like Big Dam Draw and Little Dam Draw. This 2014 survey document captures the enduring ranching character of the high plains, where drainage systems like Cottonwood Cr and Fortyeight Mile Cr dictate the layout of local roads and property lines.
