About this map

Otter Creek School stands as a focal point in this portion of Montana’s Sweet Grass County, where the landscape is defined by a complex network of seasonal and perennial watercourses. The drainage patterns of Otter Cr and Tenmile Cr crisscross the terrain, supported by smaller tributaries such as Old Daves Cr and S Fork Tenmile Cr. This area represents a rural ranching environment where water management is critical, evidenced by the Lavold Reservoir tucked into the northern hills.

Transportation through these drainage basins relies on a few primary corridors, most notably Us-191 which runs north-south, and rural routes like Otter Creek Rd and Glaston Rd. The naming of numerous topographic depressions, including Nash Gulch, Bear Gulch, and Lien Gulch, indicates a landscape where specific landforms served as essential landmarks for navigation and land division in the early twenty-first century.
