1979 Map of Davis Creek East

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Chalk Buttes dominates the southeastern horizon of this Carter County landscape, where the high ridges give way to a complex network of intermittent drainages. Mapped during the 1970s, the terrain is defined by the carved paths of Davis Creek and Whitetail Creek, along with several seasonal flows such as South Spring Creek and Dry Creek. The area is largely characterized by open rangeland and intricate topography, with landmark elevations like Saddle Butte providing clear points of orientation for those tracking historical land use. Scattered evidence of water management and local infrastructure, including several locations marked simply as Well, indicates the necessity of reliable water sources for the cattle ranching operations that have long anchored this part of Montana. Fine red dashed lines throughout the map provide a unique record of selected fence lines, tracing the boundaries of private holdings and public lands during this era.
