About this map

The hydrological network of the North Fork Deer Creek, Middle Fork Deer Creek, and South Fork Deer Creek dominates this section of Dawson County. These drainage systems carve through the landscape, creating a series of complex coulees and ridges typical of the eastern Montana plains. The terrain is marked by the sharp descent into Stinking Coulee in the northeast, while the broader drainage of Lower Sevenmile Creek touches the northern edge of the survey area.

Transportation is defined by a grid of rural routes, including RD 442, RD 448, and RD 454, which navigate the township lines and creek crossings. The map illustrates a largely open, agricultural or grazing landscape, where the primary landmarks are these watercourses and the section lines that organize the vast prairie. This contemporary survey by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a clear view of the modern land management and natural drainage patterns in the region.
