About this map

The Belle Fourche River meanders across this landscape on the border of Montana and Wyoming, carving a complex series of bends through the prairie. Cattle ranching and mineral extraction define the region's human geography, evidenced by scattered family holdings such as Raber Ranch, Bean Ranch, and Coburn Ranch. The presence of the Bentonite Haul Rd and Bentonite Rd indicates the industrial importance of clay mining in this part of Carter County.

Elevated terrain features like Green Mountain and the expansive Stoneville Flats break the horizon between numerous drainages, including Devils Run and Trouble Cr. These waterways feed into the larger river system, supporting the remote homesteads that have persisted in this corner of the Great Plains. The map provides a clear record of the road network, from Little Missouri Rd to local county routes, which connect these isolated agricultural operations.
