About this map

The county line between Yellowstone Co and Carbon Co divides the landscape where the northern foothills of the Pryor Mountains meet the drainages of the Yellowstone River valley. This high-plains terrain is defined by a series of parallel watercourses including Spring Creek, Davis Creek, and Duck Creek, which flow northward through sections of deep relief. The map reveals a remote pastoral and industrial network, with routes like Moser Dome Rd and Price Hill Rd providing access to the high ground between the draws. In the southern portion of the sheet, the headwaters of Little Cottonwood Creek and Cottonwood Creek cut through the sections, highlighting the transition from open range to the more complex topography of south-central Montana. The placement of section lines and the distribution of roads like Spring Creek Rd suggest a landscape primarily utilized for ranching and energy exploration.
