2020 Map of Prairie Dog Creek

About this map

Prairie Dog Cr winds through this expanse of Carter County, shaping a drainage system that includes Ewalt Draw and Boxelder Cr. The landscape is defined by its seasonal watercourses and the open range, where Sherril Cr and Hawksnest Cr provide a sense of the area's natural topography. Human presence is sparse, etched into the terrain by only a few thoroughfares like Hammond Rd in the north and Tauck Rd at the southern edge. This 2020 record of the high plains reflects the enduring nature of Montana’s rural ranching territory, where township lines like t4s r59e and t5s r59e divide large tracts of land largely untouched by dense development. The map serves as a contemporary benchmark for the path of Cottonwood Cr and the quiet, road-limited stretches of the eastern Montana interior.
