About this map

Little Beaver Cr and Hay Cr drain this expansive prairie landscape in southeastern Fallon County, where the terrain is marked by a complex network of intermittent stream beds and drainage coulees. The map illustrates a rural area defined by section lines and grazing land, with movement facilitated by long, straight gravel routes such as Shelterbelt Rd and Webster Rd. Local topography is highlighted by named drainages like Bone Pile Cr and Fletcher Cr, which cut through the high plains toward the larger creek systems. These waterways and the corresponding Fletcher Creek Trl indicate a landscape primarily utilized for ranching and large-scale agriculture. The distribution of these features reveals a settlement pattern common to Eastern Montana, where life and transit are dictated by the presence of water sources and the grid of established section roads.
