About this map

Phillippi Reservoir serves as a central landmark in this high plains landscape of Carter County, where drainage systems define the movement of both water and travelers. The terrain is characterized by a network of intermittent streams, including Boxelder Cr, Soda Cr, and North Soda Creek, which cut through the undulating prairie. The primary overland route, Hammond Rd, snakes across the quadrangle, following the natural contours of the land and providing a modern connection through this ranching-focused corner of Montana.

Prominent landforms like the Flattops rise to the east, while the southern reaches are marked by the headwaters of Steep Creek and Park Creek. This survey captures the rural infrastructure and natural drainage patterns of the region, where the Little Groat Creek and Big Groat Creek drainages emerge from the southern boundary, illustrating the subtle but essential topographic variations of the northern plains.
