About this map

Taylor Hills dominate this section of Carter County, Montana, providing a topographic anchor for the surrounding rangeland. The drainage patterns here are complex, defined by seasonal watercourses like Big Ramme Cr in the north and the N Fork Dead Boy Cr in the southwest. The small settlement of Belltower sits near the eastern edge of the quadrangle, connected to the wider region by Lone Tree Rd.

A series of named draws, including Short Draw, Keltner Draw, and Horsetrack Draw, highlight the intricate erosion patterns common to this part of the northern plains. These features, along with Buffalo Cr and Sand Cr, illustrate a landscape shaped by intermittent water flow, where traditional land use often follows the contours of the draws and creek beds. The map provides a detailed look at the rural section lines and local roads, such as McCabe Rd, that organize this sparsely populated ranching country.
