About this map

The Yellowstone River cuts across the northwest corner of this Prairie County landscape, serving as the primary drainage for a network of seasonal coulees and creeks. Moving south from the river, the terrain is defined by the winding paths of Bad Route Creek and Cabin Creek, which dictate the placement of local thoroughfares such as Cabin Creek Rd and Marsh Rd. This area of eastern Montana shows a sparse but organized system of rural transit, including Little Fallon Flt and Rte 340. The convergence of multiple waterways like Spring Creek and Ash Creek illustrates the complex drainage patterns typical of the region's ranching and agricultural outskirts. Researchers will find a landscape that remains oriented around its natural watercourses and the established dirt roads that connect remote holdings to the broader county network.
