About this map

Sheep Mtn rises above a landscape defined by an intricate network of seasonal drainage in this portion of Carter County. The terrain is marked by the meandering paths of Hackberry Cr, Bull Cr, and Sand Cr in the northern sections, while Cottonwood Cr winds through the southern reaches. This modern topographical survey illustrates a sparsely populated region where human activity is primarily indicated by the solitary Sheep Mt Rd, which traverses the high ground. The map details the Public Land Survey System grid across townships T4S R61E and T5S R61E, showing the intersection of natural watercourses with the geometric boundaries of western land management. The sparse infrastructure and concentration of named creeks suggest a reliance on these natural landmarks for navigation and local ranching operations in this part of Montana.
