About this map

Whitetail Creek and its many tributaries define the hydrology of this corner of Carter County, where the high plains transition through a series of complex draws and drainages. The landscape is dominated by the branching network of N Fork Whitetail Cr, Middle Fork Whitetail Cr, and S Fork Whitetail Cr, which converge as they flow eastward. To the south, Aldrich Draw cuts through the terrain near Boxelder Creek, illustrating the erosional patterns typical of this Montana region.

Infrastructure is sparse, reflecting the rural character of the land during this period. Only a few primary routes, such as Hopkins Rd and Hammond Rd, provide access through the townships. The map provides a clear look at the Public Land Survey System grid, specifically within t4s r56e, t4s r57e, t5s r56e, and t5s r57e, which helps researchers pin down specific historic land parcels and grazing territories.
