About this map

E Fork O'Fallon Cr and its numerous tributaries dominate this drainage landscape in Carter County, Montana. The map illustrates a highly dissected terrain where seasonal watercourses like Alkali Cr, Lone Tree Cr, and Hanley Cr have carved intricate patterns into the high plains. This network of drainages flows toward the larger O'Fallon Cr in the northwest, defining the natural movement of the land.

Human presence is marked primarily by transport routes adapted to this geography. The Miles City Cutoff and Ismay Rd traverse the western and southern sections, providing essential links across these open rangelands. The land is organized by the Public Land Survey System, as seen in the grid of t4n r56e and adjacent townships, reflecting a tradition of land division that persists in the 21st-century West.
