2020 Map of Little Whitney Creek

About this map

Little Whitney Cr and Whitney Cr wind through this corner of the Montana high plains, where the border between Prairie and Custer counties divides a landscape defined by expansive drainage networks. The drainage of Coal Creek in the southwest corner further illustrates the intricate topography of the region's coulees and breaks. This map records a remote ranching and transit landscape, where the naming of Stage Line Rd and the Terry Cut-Off Rd suggests a history of overland travel routes connecting isolated homesteads and grazing lands. Other local corridors like Little Whitney Creek Rd and Whitney Creek Rd follow the natural contours of the watercourses, providing essential access through the township and range grids of T10N and T9N.
