2020 Map of Lone Tree Creek

About this map

Lone Tree Cr and its neighboring drainages define the landscape of this Carter County corner, where the terrain transitions through open range and creek bottoms. This modern topographic study reveals a quiet corner of Montana organized by the Public Land Survey System, as seen in the grid of t4s r60e and t5s r60e. Local transportation relies on a network of unpaved routes, including Sheep Mountain Rd and Chimney Rock Rd, which follow the contours of the high ground between the watercourses. The drainage of Cottonwood Cr winds across the central portion of the sheet, illustrating the sparse but vital water resources in this part of the state. It is a portrait of a working landscape where geography is measured by township lines and the seasonal flow of Hackberry Cr.
