About this map

Bad Route Creek and its northern tributaries define the drainage patterns of this corner of Dawson County. The landscape is characterized by a network of drainage basins, with the South Fork Clear Creek and Clear Creek flowing through the northern townships. The area is divided by the Public Land Survey System into several townships, including t15n r51e and t16n r52e, reflecting the foundational grid of Montana's eastern plains.

Surface travel in this rural expanse relies on a series of local connectors, such as Rd 217 and Rd 238, which follow the contours and section lines of the territory. The presence of Cracker Box Creek in the east and East Fork Bad Route Creek in the west suggests a terrain deeply carved by seasonal watercourses, common in the high plains where ranching and land management are tied to these natural watersheds.
