About this map

Mill Iron sits at the northern end of this landscape, where the local road network including Mill Iron Rd and Prairiedale Rd connects the high plains of Carter County. The terrain is defined by a series of drainages and springs that support ranching operations in this arid environment, evidenced by numerous named water sources like Patton Spring Number 2, Wood Gulch Spring, and Hatch Spring.

A significant portion of the southern area is managed as part of the Custer National Forest, specifically encompassing the elevated Long Pines region. The mapping of infrastructure such as the L O Reservoir, Bar C Reservoir, and Flat Reservoir reflects the critical importance of water management for livestock and land use in southeastern Montana. The elevation rises toward the northwest at Coal Creek Hill, providing a clear view of the complex coulees and ridges that shape the Boxelder Creek watershed.
