1980 Map of Prairie Dog Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Boxelder Creek and Prairie Dog Creek define the drainage patterns of this corner of Carter County, Montana. The topography is dominated by the intricate dissection of the plains, where small intermittent streams and coulees break the landscape into a complex system of ridges and basins. Settlement is sparse, with the map focusing on the natural hydrology and the grazing lands typical of the region. Fine red dashed lines denote selected fence lines across the terrain, reflecting the long-standing ranching practices in this part of the state. Cottonwood Creek and Hawksnest Creek also traverse the quadrangle, illustrating the importance of these watercourses for livestock in an otherwise arid environment.
