2020 Map of Allard Ranch

About this map

Allard Ranch serves as a central landmark in this portion of the Montana plains, situated where the drainage systems of the Missouri River watershed begin to carve into the high tablelands. The landscape is defined by the intricate branching of Burns Creek, with its Middle Fork and North Fork creating a complex network of coulees and draws. This 2020 survey highlights the vital role of water in this semi-arid ranching country, documenting several specific water sources including 20N56E32CABC01 Spring and 19N56E05BABA Spring. The boundary between Dawson and Richland counties runs North-South through the eastern third of the map, while a localized system of section roads like County Road 344 and Road 549 provides the primary infrastructure for the scattered agricultural operations.
