About this map

Bears Paw Mountains define the northern reaches of this section of Chouteau County, where high ridges and creek beds create a distinct drainage pattern. The landscape is anchored by prominent landforms such as Tiger Butte and Tiger Ridge in the southeast, while Sawmill Butte and Pecora Ridge dominate the western and northeastern horizons. This terrain dictates the flow of numerous seasonal watercourses, including Eagle Cr and Dog Cr, which weave through the valleys between these elevations.

Warrick Rd provides the primary overland access through this sparsely developed area, cutting across the central part of the quadrangle. For researchers or locals, the map illustrates how ranching and land use follow these natural contours, with survey boundaries like t27n r16e and t26n r16e dividing the territory. The presence of named drainages like Little Birch Cr and Connelly Cr points to the essential role of water management in this high-plains environment.
