About this map

Sheep Mountain rises above the drainage networks of Carter County in this 1980 survey, showing the complex topography of the Montana plains. The landscape is defined by the convergence of several intermittent waterways, most notably Hackberry Creek and Cottonwood Creek, which illustrate the natural drainage patterns of this high-plains environment. This area, largely defined by its township and range boundaries including R 61 E and R 62 E, remains relatively sparse of permanent structures, reflecting the large-scale ranching and grazing land typical of the region's late-twentieth-century geography. Small landmarks like Sand Butte Sub provide localized elevation points among the winding courses of Sand Creek and Bull Creek, offering a detailed record of the terrain as it existed before contemporary land-use changes.
