About this map

Otter Creek carves a central path through this landscape in southeastern Montana, where a complex network of ephemeral drainages and springs defines the remote terrain of Powder River County. Significant landmarks such as Wallop Butte and Long Butte rise above the drainage basins, providing vertical relief in an area dominated by ranching infrastructure and rural access routes like Sayle Rd and Bliss Ranch Rd.

The presence of numerous named water sources, including 09S46E02BDBA01 Spring and 08S46E23ACCC01 Spring, indicates the vital importance of groundwater in this high-plains environment. The map details the convergence of several major tributaries, including Pasture Creek, Cedar Creek, and Long Creek, reflecting a land shaped by the flow of water toward the larger creek systems. These drainage patterns, such as Kroger Draw and Macs Draw, dictate the placement of local roads and help define the historic boundaries of the T8S and T9S townships.
