2020 Map of Davis Creek West

About this map

Pine Hill stands as a prominent landmark in this southeastern Montana landscape, situated near the north-south boundary dividing Powder River and Carter counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of intermittent drainage systems, characteristic of the region's high plains topography. A complex watershed is visible here, where headwaters and tributaries like Stump Creek, Dry Creek, and Davis Creek carve through the dissected uplands. The mapping of these ephemeral streams, including South Dry Creek and Honeycomb Creek, illustrates the intricate erosion patterns that shape this cattle-country environment. This 2020 survey captures the area's remote character, where the Public Land Survey System grid provides the primary human structure over a land largely defined by its hydrology and natural relief.
