About this map

North Fork Whitetail Creek and its companion branches dominate this corner of Carter County, carving a drainage pattern through the southeastern Montana landscape. The area is characterized by these intricate headwaters, where Middle Fork Whitetail Creek and South Fork Whitetail Creek converge to define the local geography. Further north, the terrain is shaped by the presence of Cady Creek and Muskrat Creek, while Timber Creek marks the northeastern edge of the survey.

This landscape reflects the sparse, ranching-oriented settlement patterns common in the region, where named features are almost exclusively tied to the water sources that sustain the land. To the southwest, the topography transitions toward the Dry Creek drainage, including the South Fork Dry Creek. The map provides a contemporary record of these vital watercourses and the public land survey system grid, which continues to organize this part of the state.
