About this map

O'Fallon Cr and its tributaries carve a network of drainages across this section of Prairie County, defining the drainage patterns of the eastern Montana landscape. The area is characterized by high-elevation divides and deep creek beds, including Whitney Cr, Fox Cr, and Dunwoodie Cr. These natural watercourses dictated the placement of early infrastructure, such as the Flat Top Rd and Whitney Creek Rd, which follow the natural contours of the land. In the southeastern corner, the Airport Reservoir provides a managed water source amidst the arid breaks. The map captures the organized layout of the Public Land Survey System, showing the townships from t12n r52e down to t10n r53e, illustrating how ranching and land management were structured around these vital prairie waterways.
