2024 Map of Whitetail Creek

About this map

Whitetail Creek and its many branches form the primary drainage system through this high plains landscape in Carter County. This modern survey illustrates the intricate network of watercourses, including the North Fork Whitetail Creek, Middle Fork Whitetail Creek, and South Fork Whitetail Creek. The terrain is deeply incised by erosion features like Aldrich Draw and fed by smaller tributaries such as Muskrat Creek and Timber Creek. While mostly open country, the map identifies local transit corridors like Hopkin's Rd and Hammond Rd that navigate the ridges between the creek valleys. To the southeast, the land slopes toward Boxelder Creek and Deep Creek, showing the subtle but complex topography of the Montana-South Dakota borderlands. The absence of dense settlement highlights the vast, agrarian nature of this remote corner of the state.
