2014 Map of Deer Creek Church

About this map

The Big Sheep Mountains rise along the northwestern edge of this Dawson County landscape, framing a region defined by the branching drainages of the Middle Fork Deer Creek and S Fork Deer Creek. This 2014 survey documents a quiet rural corner of eastern Montana where agricultural and community landmarks persist amidst the vast sections of the Public Land Survey System. A primary point of local history is found at the intersection of MT-470 and Road 446, where the Deer Creek Church and its associated W Church Cem are situated. The map illustrates a network of county roads, including Road 452 and Road 450, that navigate the undulating terrain and seasonal waterways like Spring Creek. This modern record is an essential tool for those tracing genealogy in the Big Sheep Mountains vicinity or studying the persistent rural infrastructure of the Montana plains.
