About this map

Silver Tip Cr carves a path through this Carbon County landscape, serving as a central drainage feature for the area's complex system of draws and coulees. The map details an arid terrain defined by erosional features like Long Draw, Williams Draw, and Hollenbeck Draw. Human imprint is visible through a network of rural roads such as Long Draw Rd and Hollenbeck Draw Rd, which follow the natural contours of the land.

Water management is evident in the northwest corner, where the River View Ditch and Rocky Point Ditch divert resources toward agricultural use. These irrigation features, alongside roads like Lovers Ln and Musgrave Ln, indicate a history of ranching and land use tailored to the Montana high plains. The drainage network is rounded out by Cub Cr and Hunt Cr, illustrating the localized hydrology of the Clark's Fork of the Yellowstone River basin.
