2017 Map of Prairie Dog Creek

About this map

Prairie Dog Creek and its tributary drainage systems define the geography of this portion of Carter County. The terrain is marked by a network of seasonal watercourses, including Boxelder Creek and the notable Ewalt Draw in the north. This 2017 survey reflects the enduring cattle-country infrastructure of Montana, where local transit is facilitated by routes like Hammond Rd and Tauck Rd. These roads traverse a landscape dominated by open range and watershed divides between Cottonwood Creek and Corral Creek. For those tracing local land use or geographic history in the southeastern corner of the state, the map provides precise positioning for these hydrologic features and the section lines that have organized this ranching country for over a century.
