2017 Map of Davis Creek East

About this map

Saddle Butte rises above the southeastern landscape of this Montana prairie, anchoring a terrain defined by an intricate network of intermittent drainages. Flowing generally westward and northward toward larger basins, these watercourses include Whitetail Cr in the north and the namesake Davis Cr to the south. The area is characterized by vast open spaces partitioned by the Public Land Survey System, including portions of t1s r55e and t1s r56e. Human presence is marked primarily by ranch roads such as Ridge Rd and Chalk Buttes Rd, which follow the contours of the high ground between creek beds like Cabin Cr and Stump Cr. This 2017 survey reflects the enduring cattle-country layout of Carter County, where the topography dictates the movement of both water and people.
