About this map

The Judith River carves a deep path through the Fergus County landscape, serving as the central geographic feature of this 2017 survey. The river's winding course is flanked by significant elevation changes, most notably the elevated Bear Springs Bench to the west and a series of rugged drainages including Brown Coulee, Flax Coulee, and Seventy Nine Coulee. The small settlement of Anderson Bridge marks a historic crossing point where Judith River Rd meets the water, illustrating the importance of this specific location for regional transit in a relatively sparse area.

Evidence of local land use is seen in the rural road network, including 3 Mile Rd and Stulc Ln, which provide access to the various coulees and ranching lands. Tributaries like Salt Cr feed into the Judith, while features like Anderson Coulee further define the intricate topography. This document captures the intersection of natural river corridors and the enduring agricultural infrastructure of central Montana.
