2024 Map of Skunk Creek

About this map

Skunk Creek and the meandering O'Fallon Creek define the drainage patterns of this corner of Carter County, Montana. The landscape is marked by a network of ranch-to-market routes and historic thoroughfares that reflect the area's long-standing reliance on overland transport across open range. Notable transit lines like the Miles City Cutoff and the Labree Cutacross traverse the terrain, alongside smaller local roads such as Mizpah Rd and Ismay Rd. The map reveals a complex system of seasonal watercourses including Antelope Creek, Lily Creek, and Alkali Creek, which have shaped the local land use and boundary lines of Townships 3 and 4 North. This contemporary survey preserves the names of these essential water sources and the established tracks that continue to connect the remote homesteads and ranch lands of eastern Montana.
