1981 Map of Skunk Creek

About this map

O'Fallon Creek and its many seasonal tributaries define this section of Carter County in the mid-1970s. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of drainages, including Antelope Creek and Buffalo Creek, which reveal the intricate erosional patterns of the northern plains. This 1981 edition, based on earlier aerial photography, captures the remote ranching country of eastern Montana where few permanent structures or roads appear. Notable drainages like Skunk Creek, Hay Creek, and H Seven Creek carve through the terrain, providing essential landmarks in an area of sparse human settlement. The map serves as a detailed record of the natural hydrology and topographical contours before any significant modern land alterations, preserving the original names of local waterways such as Dugout Creek and Alkali Creek.
