2017 Map of Elkhorn Creek SW

About this map

Watson Draw and a complex drainage system define this portion of Carter County, Montana. The landscape is etched by numerous seasonal watercourses, including Ninemile Cr, Twelvemile Cr, and S Indian Cr, which illustrate the erosion patterns of the northern Great Plains. These ephemeral streams converge toward larger arteries like Owl Cr and the S Fork Owl Cr in the southern sections of the survey. Human presence is sparse, marked primarily by the primitive routes of Albion Rd and Indian Creek Rd that follow the natural contours of the high prairie. The map provides a clear look at the Public Land Survey System grid through township boundaries like t8s r61e and t9s r62e, essential for researchers tracing specific land allotments or historic ranch boundaries in this corner of the state.
