1980 Map of Sevenmile Creek

About this map

Flasted Ranch stands as a focal point of human habitation in this corner of Carter County, situated within a landscape defined by an intricate network of intermittent waterways. The terrain is dominated by the drainages of Sevenmile Creek, Ninemile Creek, and Fivemile Creek, which carve through the open country. To the southwest, the expansive Stoneville Flats provides a level break from the rolling topography, while a lone Pipeline and a Gravel Pit indicate the modern infrastructure and industrial activity present in the late 20th century. The presence of South Fork Owl Creek and Crow Creek in the southeastern quadrant further illustrates the drainage patterns essential to ranching in this part of Montana. This survey serves as a detailed record of land use and water resources in a region where life is closely tied to the natural hydrology of the plains.
