1984 Map of Whitewater East

About this map

Whitewater serves as the primary node of activity in this northern Montana landscape, situated near the western edge of the study area. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the East Fork Whitewater Creek and the sharp relief of Tea Kettle Butte. This 1984 provisional edition highlights the water-scarce nature of the high plains, where isolated features like Lone Tree Spring and named drainage features such as Dunbar Coulee represent vital landmarks for ranching and local navigation. The inclusion of an Airstrip near the settlement underscores the logistical reliance on aviation in these expansive rural stretches of Phillips County.
