About this map

Corral Butte and Big Peak anchor this section of the Montana badlands, overlooking a complex network of intermittent drainages. The landscape is defined by the erosional patterns of many named waterways, including the winding paths of Miles Creek, Mack Creek, and the curiously named E-2 Creek. These streams indicate a highly dissected terrain where seasonal water flow has carved distinct coulees and draws through the Prairie County soil.

Remote and primarily used for rangeland, the area is crossed by a sparse grid of local roads and 4WD tracks, which connect isolated points such as the headwaters of Schlosser Creek and Freddie Creek. The map provides a clear look at the drainage divide between northern-flowing waters like Williams Creek and the southeastern reach of Corral Creek, showing the natural obstacles faced by early travelers and modern ranchers in this part of the state.
