2014 Map of Prairie Dog Creek

About this map

Prairie Dog Creek flows through this expansive section of Carter County, shaping a drainage system defined by seasonal waterways and local ranching routes. The landscape is marked by several named tributaries including Boxelder Creek in the northwest and Cottonwood Creek in the southeast. These watercourses are vital landmarks in an area of Montana where reliable water sources and topographic breaks like Ewalt Draw dictate the local geography. Small roadways such as Hammond Road and Tauck Road provide the primary access through the township sections, following the natural contours of the terrain. The presence of Hawksnest Creek and Sherrill Creek highlights the intricate network of draws and creeks that have historically supported the open-range cattle industry of the region.
