2014 Map of Angela

About this map

The Angela settlement and its local Po serve as the central anchor for this ranching landscape in Rosebud County, where human activity follows the path of MT-59. The terrain is defined by a complex drainage system that feeds into N Sunday Cr and Rock Springs Cr, revealing the natural corridors that likely dictated early travel and land use. The presence of Fulton Spring and distinctive landmarks like Steamboat Rock provided essential navigation points for homesteaders and travelers across these northern plains. Local thoroughfares, such as Mcrae Rd and Road 203, connect the scattered townships, illustrating the sparse but deliberate layout of eastern Montana’s cattle country. The numerous creek labels, including the colorfully named Dirty Woman Cr, suggest a land where water sources were the primary descriptors of place.
