2020 Map of Elkhorn Creek SE

About this map

The Montana-South Dakota border bisects this landscape, marking the intersection of Carter and Butte counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of intermittent drainage channels, where S Indian Cr and Frozen Horse Cr carve paths through the high plains. Human activity is sparse, concentrated along a few key thoroughfares such as Albion Rd and Indian Creek Rd that provide access to the remote survey sections. The map reveals the intricate public land survey system, with townships and ranges including t8s r62e and t13n r1e meeting at the state line. Landforms like Watson Draw and watercourses such as Bean Blossom Cr characterize the arid environment of this borderland region in the early twenty-first century.
