2011 Map of Dutchman Creek

About this map

Dutchman Creek and its complex network of seasonal tributaries define this corner of Carter County, Montana. The landscape is dominated by the intricate drainage systems of Corral Creek, which branches into its North Fork and South Fork. In this sparsely populated area, human activity is primarily indicated by a limited road network, most notably Ridge Rd, which follows the higher ground between watercourses. Other distinct watersheds like Cabin Creek, Flat Creek, and South Creek cross the eastern and northern portions of the map. This topographic survey captures the natural contours and hydraulic patterns of the Montana plains as they appeared in the early 21st century, illustrating how the terrain's dry-land hydrology dictates the placement of rural infrastructure.
