2011 Map of Little Sheep Mountain

About this map

Devlin Ranch sits at the heart of this Montana prairie landscape, marking a site of human habitation in a region defined by its complex drainage network. The terrain is dominated by the prominence of Little Sheep Mountain to the south, while the hydrological system is anchored by Cherry Creek and its various tributaries. Water management is evident through the inclusion of the McDevlin Number 2 Dam and Keltner Number 1 Dam, which indicate the importance of water storage for ranching or agricultural operations in this arid environment. Roads such as North Cherry Creek Rd and Caprock Rd provide the primary access through the undulating country, following the natural contours shaped by North Fork Cherry Creek and South Fork Cherry Creek. These features illustrate the sparse but deliberate footprint of ranching life in Prairie County during the early 21st century.
