2017 Map of Deer Creek Church

About this map

Deer Creek Church and the adjacent West Church Cem serve as the primary landmarks in this sparsely settled corner of Dawson County. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of several drainage systems, including the Middle Fork Deer Cr and S Fork Deer Cr, which carve through the high plains. In the northwest corner, the terrain rises toward the Big Sheep Mountains, a significant topographical feature that influences the local water table and drainage patterns. The road network consists primarily of secondary routes like Fas 470 and local tracks such as Pasture Trl, illustrating the agricultural and ranching character of the region. This 2017 survey captures the enduring rural footprint of eastern Montana, where small community centers and family cemeteries remain the focal points for local history and genealogy.
