2020 Map of Andes

About this map

The small settlement of Andes serves as the focal point of this eastern Montana landscape, situated along the upper reaches of Hardscrabble Cr. The surrounding terrain in Richland County is defined by a network of drainage features, including Garden Coulee, Goodman Coulee, and Hay Coulee, which illustrate the erosion patterns characteristic of the region. Local history and genealogy are anchored by the Andes Cem, located just north of the townsite. The map details a rural infrastructure of county roads, such as Co RD 332 and Co RD 141, that connect isolated homesteads across the townships of t26n r55e and t25n r56e. Waterways like Timber Cr and E Charlie Cr further delineate the prairie, providing a record of the natural landmarks used by generations of ranchers in this part of the state.
