2017 Map of Whitetail Creek

About this map

Whitetail Cr and its complex network of tributaries define this section of Carter County, where the high plains are carved by the N Fork Whitetail Cr, Middle Fork Whitetail Cr, and S Fork Whitetail Cr. The landscape is a remote drainage basin where ephemeral waters like Muskrat Cr and Boxelder Cr converge, shaping a terrain primarily utilized for ranching and open-range agriculture. The structural layout of the region is anchored by two primary arterial routes, Hopkins Rd and Hammond Rd, which facilitate movement between these isolated cattle-grazing sections. A notable geographic feature in the southern reaches is Aldrich Draw, a distinct topographic indentation that reflects the erosive character of the local watershed. This 2017 survey details the precise township and range divisions, showing the enduring grid system of the American West.
