2017 Map of Andes

About this map

The settlement of Andes serves as the central point for this high plains landscape in Richland County, defined by a network of drainage systems and rural section roads. The local geography is etched by watercourses such as Hardscrabble Cr and Timber Cr, which carve through the terrain alongside several named coulees. A significant point for local genealogy is the Andes Cem, situated near the intersection of Co RD 332 and Co RD 143. The map illustrates a contemporary pattern of land use where historic township boundaries like t26n r55e and t25n r55e continue to organize the sparsely populated ranching and farming country of eastern Montana. The convergence of Garden Coulee and Goodman Coulee in the northern sections underscores the erosion-driven topography of the region.
