About this map

Lanning Ranch Airport serves as a lone marker of human infrastructure in this remote stretch of Carter County, where the landscape is defined by a complex network of seasonal drainage and ridge systems. The terrain is deeply incised by the forks of Willow Creek, including N Fork Willow Cr, Middle Fork Willow Cr, and S Fork Willow Cr, alongside the winding path of Deadman Cr. Land use here remains largely oriented toward ranching and grazing, as evidenced by the simple road network consisting of Lannings Rd, Larsons Rd, and the elevated Ridge Rd. Significant topographical depressions such as Torgerson Draw and the course of N Thompson Cr provide a detailed look at the watershed patterns in this section of southeastern Montana, capturing the area as it appeared in the early 21st century.
