2017 Map of Davis Creek West

About this map

Pine Hill rises as a prominent landmark in this sparsely settled region along the border of Powder River and Carter counties. The landscape is defined by a complex network of seasonal drainages, including Stump Cr and Dry Cr, which carve through the terrain and dictate the movement of early ranchers and travelers. This 2017 survey reveals the persistent importance of natural water sources and topographic high points in a high-plains environment where human infrastructure remains minimal. Smaller tributaries like Honeycomb Cr and Flag Cr illustrate the intricate hydrological patterns that have shaped land use and property boundaries in this corner of Montana.
