2014 Map of Capitol NW

About this map

Sheep Mtn dominates the high ground in this section of Carter County, anchoring a landscape defined by an intricate network of seasonal drainage and prairie creeks. The map captures the area's rural character as it appeared in the early 21st century, where large-scale land divisions of t4s r61e and t5s r61e provide the primary framework for navigation. Water sources like Hackberry Cr and Cottonwood Cr wind through the terrain, indicating the vital riparian corridors that have supported local ranching for generations. Movement through this corner of Montana is facilitated by legacy routes including Sheep Mountain Rd and Bickerdyke Rd, which follow the natural contours of the land rather than a strict grid.
