2024 Map of Capitol NW

About this map

Sheep Mtn dominates the northern landscape of this Carter County quadrangle, where the terrain is defined by a dendritic network of intermittent drainages and high plains. The map records a sparsely settled ranching landscape, organized by the Public Land Survey System through townships t4s r61e, t4s r62e, t5s r61e, and t5s r62e. Water distribution is a primary geographic factor here, with Sand Creek and Bull Creek carving through the northern sections while Hackberry Creek and Cottonwood Creek drain the south. Aside from the winding path of Sheep Mt Rd, human infrastructure is minimal, reflecting the enduring rural character of this corner of eastern Montana as it stood in the early 21st century.
